Pendleton Juvenile Correctional

Summary:

Pendleton Juvenile Correctional is a public high school in Pendleton, Indiana that serves grades 5-12 and is part of the Indiana Department of Correction district. With a student population of 153, the school has a racial makeup that is 46.41% White, 35.95% African American, 7.84% Hispanic, and 9.15% two or more races.

Pendleton Juvenile Correctional consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Indiana, with academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 22.22% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, compared to 21.43% for the Indiana Department of Correction district and 50.51% for the state of Indiana. The school also has a 0% chronic absenteeism rate, which is significantly lower than the state average, likely due to the nature of the school being a correctional facility. Pendleton Juvenile Correctional's performance on various student subgroups is also concerning, ranking 113 out of 125 Indiana high schools for African American students and 350 out of 378 for White students in 2021-2022.

While Pendleton Juvenile Correctional's current performance is concerning, the data indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement. The relatively better performance of the school's special education students, ranking 2 out of 5 Indiana high schools in 2021-2022 and 93 out of 289 in 2023-2024, suggests that targeted interventions and support can make a difference in student outcomes, even in a challenging educational environment like a correctional facility. By focusing on evidence-based strategies and providing the necessary resources and support, the school could potentially enhance the educational outcomes for its students, who face unique challenges compared to nearby high-performing schools like Fishers High School and Hamilton Southeastern High School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
