Summary:
The Union County/Clg Corner Joint School District in Indiana is home to a single high school, Union County High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced academic challenges in recent years, with a declining performance trend and below-average proficiency rates on standardized tests.
Union County High School has an enrollment of 386 students, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (93.78%) and a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families (48.7% free and reduced-price lunch rate). The school's academic performance has declined over the past three years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 2-star rating in the current 2023-2024 school year. Proficiency rates on standardized tests, such as the SAT and ILEARN, are below the state average in several subjects, including reading, math, and biology.
While the school has a slightly above-average four-year graduation rate of 90.3%, it faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 20.0%. The school district's per-student spending of $10,945 is slightly above the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 14.1 is relatively low, suggesting that the school has access to adequate resources. However, the declining academic performance indicates that the resources may not be effectively utilized or aligned with the school's improvement goals. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as attendance issues and equity concerns, could be crucial for improving student outcomes and the overall performance of Union County High School.
