Summary:
Switzerland County School Corp in Indiana has only one high school, Switzerland County Senior High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 school year, down from a 2-star rating the previous year. While the school's graduation rate is relatively high at 86.4%, its chronic absenteeism rate is also high at 28.6%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Academically, Switzerland County Senior High School struggles with low proficiency rates in SAT/Mathematics, with only 9.65% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 38.6% in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing. The school's performance in ILEARN/Biology is also below the state average, with only 18% of students proficient or better in the 2022-2023 school year. These academic gaps suggest the school may need to focus on improving its math and science instruction to better support student learning.
Demographically, the school's student population is predominantly White (94.48%), with relatively low percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. Additionally, a high percentage of students (50.11%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic challenge that the school may need to address. The school's per-student spending of $10,612 and student-to-teacher ratio of 17.8 suggest that the school may have limited resources to provide additional support and interventions for its students.
