Summary:

Attica High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Attica, Indiana, with a student population of 297. The school is part of the Attica Consolidated School Corporation, which is ranked 198 out of 381 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Attica High School stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.24%) compared to nearby schools, and it has consistently maintained a high four-year graduation rate, reaching 100% in several recent school years, which is higher than the surrounding schools. However, the school has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 3.7% to 19.5% in recent years, and its test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, are generally lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, Attica High School has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 51.85% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Compared to nearby schools, Attica High School's performance is generally lower than Benton Central Junior-Senior High School and McCutcheon High School, which have higher test scores, graduation rates, and overall rankings. However, Attica High School outperforms the nearby Fountain Central High School and Seeger Memorial Junior-Senior High School in some areas. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, suggesting a focus on investing in its students, but addressing the disparities in subgroup performance and improving academic outcomes could be key areas of focus for the school's administration and the Attica Consolidated School Corporation.

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.
