High Schools in Warsaw Community Schools

Warsaw Community Schools is a school district in Indiana that operates a single high school, Warsaw Community High School. The high school serves over 2,100 students in grades 9-12, with a diverse student population that is predominantly White (69.53%) and Hispanic (23.1%). While the school has maintained a strong 95.4% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 101 out of 409 Indiana high schools in 2021-2022 to 170 out of 431 in 2023-2024.

Warsaw Community High School's performance on standardized assessments, such as the SAT and ILEARN, has also seen a downward trend. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 51.13% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and just 32.33% were proficient or better in SAT Mathematics. Additionally, the school's ILEARN Biology proficiency rate of 20.64% was significantly below the state average of 29%. These academic challenges may be exacerbated by the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.8%, which suggests potential issues with student engagement and attendance.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role in the school's performance, with 42.97% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's per-student spending of $10,523 is in line with the state average, it's unclear how this funding is allocated and how it impacts student outcomes. As Warsaw Community Schools works to address these challenges, a closer examination of the school's resource allocation, instructional practices, and student support services may be necessary to improve academic achievement and prepare students for success.
