Summary:
The Tipton Community School Corp district in Indiana consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While Tipton High School and Tipton Elementary School demonstrate strong academic performance, the district's middle school is struggling, with declining rankings and below-average test scores.
Tipton High School stands out, ranking 85 out of 431 Indiana high schools and maintaining a high 4-year graduation rate of 95.8%. In contrast, Tipton Middle School has seen a significant drop in its statewide ranking, from 274 out of 490 in 2021-2022 to 209 out of 485 in 2023-2024, with consistently below-average ILEARN scores, particularly in math.
The district's student population is predominantly white, ranging from 87.16% to 90.57% across the three schools, and a relatively high percentage of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, from 33.26% at the high school to 47.6% at the elementary school. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average, and promoting greater racial diversity and equity could be focus areas for the district to improve overall student engagement and academic outcomes.
