Summary:
The Vincennes Community School Corp district in Indiana has one middle school, George Rogers Clark School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school faces challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math below both the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.4% and a predominantly low-income student population, with over 56% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, George Rogers Clark School lags behind the Vincennes Community School Corp district and the state of Indiana in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rate in ILEARN English Language Arts was 29.02%, compared to the district average of 31.45% and the state averages ranging from 41.1% to 42.6% for grades 6-8. Similarly, the school's Math proficiency rate was 26.47%, compared to the district average of 34.62% and state averages of 38.1% to 31.4% for grades 6-8.
The high chronic absenteeism rate and the school's low-income student population present additional challenges. The chronic absenteeism rate of 22.4% is a concern, as it can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school may need to allocate more resources and support to address the unique needs of its student population.
