Bloomington High School North consistently ranks among the top high schools in Indiana, receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 38th out of 431 schools in the state. The school's academic performance is strong, with 64.15% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and 40.9% proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics, outperforming both the Monroe County Community School Corporation and the state of Indiana. Bloomington High School North also performs well across various student subgroups, with particularly noteworthy rankings for English Language Learner students and students with special needs.

While Bloomington High School North is a high-performing school, it has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 23.1% in the 2020-2021 school year to 32.4% in the 2022-2023 school year. This trend is concerning and may warrant further investigation. Additionally, the school's higher socioeconomic status compared to nearby schools, such as Bloomington Graduation School, which struggles with lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism, suggests that the resources and opportunities available to students may vary within the same district.

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.
