North Harrison High School

Summary:

North Harrison High School is a public high school located in Ramsey, Indiana, serving 633 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the North Harrison Com School Corp district, which is ranked 83 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Harrison High School has several notable strengths, including consistently high four-year graduation rates ranging from 96.4% to 99.3% over the past five years, which exceed the state average and outperform many nearby schools like William W Borden High School and Lanesville Junior-Senior High School. The school's test scores, particularly in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, are also consistently above the state and district averages. However, the school's performance in SAT/Mathematics and ILEARN/Biology lags behind the state and district averages.

While North Harrison High School has historically been a high-performing school, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a peak of 23 out of 400 Indiana high schools in 2014-2015 to 127 out of 431 in the most recent school year. Additionally, the school shows some areas of concern when analyzing the performance of specific student subgroups, with the school's ranking for male students and white students declining in recent years, and relatively lower performance for special education students and low socioeconomic status students compared to the overall student population. These factors suggest that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic excellence compared to other high-performing schools in the state and that there may be opportunities for improvement and targeted interventions to address these areas of concern.

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.
