The Academy of Sci & Entrepreneurship

Summary:

The Academy of Sci & Entrepreneurship is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Bloomington, Indiana, with a small student population of 77 students. This exceptional school consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and outstanding academic performance that sets it apart from nearby schools.

The Academy of Sci & Entrepreneurship's students significantly outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 76.47% of 11th-graders proficient or better in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, compared to 70.27% for the Monroe County Community School Corporation. The school also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88.8% to 100% over the past five years, much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.9 to 8.9 over the past three years, which likely contributes to its academic success.

While The Academy of Sci & Entrepreneurship outperforms the nearby high schools, such as Bloomington High School South and Bloomington High School North, which also rank among the top high schools in the state, the school's diverse student population and higher per-student spending may be factors in its exceptional performance. However, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 22.9% to 28.4% over the past three years, is an area that the school may want to address to further improve student outcomes.

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.
