Summary:
The MSD Wayne Township school district in Indiana serves a diverse student population across 16 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. While the district faces significant performance gaps between its top-performing and lowest-performing schools, a few standout institutions shine, including McClelland Elementary School and Robey Elementary School, which boast the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels.
At the high school level, Ben Davis University High School stands out with an impressive 98% graduation rate and the highest SAT proficiency in both Reading/Writing and Math compared to the other high schools in the district. In contrast, Achieve Virtual Education Academy, the district's virtual school, has mixed results, with relatively strong performance in English Language Arts but weaker outcomes in Math.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates range from a low of 11.5% at Robey Elementary to a high of 35.7% at Garden City Elementary, indicating a need to address attendance issues. Additionally, the data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the schools serving the highest percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch tending to have the lowest proficiency rates.
