Edinburgh Community High School

Q: Is Edinburgh Community High School a good school?

Edinburgh Community High School ranks 248 th of 431 Indiana high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Edinburgh Community High School is a public high school serving 232 students in grades 9-12 in Edinburgh, Indiana, which is part of the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corp. While the school has maintained high graduation rates, its academic performance as measured by test scores is lower than the state and district averages, and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years.

Edinburgh Community High School stands out for its unique student demographics, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.22%) compared to surrounding schools. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 60-63% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school's ranking for low socioeconomic status students is relatively high, suggesting that it is effectively supporting this student population. However, the school's declining statewide ranking and lower-than-average test scores indicate a need to explore strategies to improve overall academic achievement and better serve the diverse needs of its student body.

Compared to nearby high schools like Whiteland Community High School, Shelbyville Senior High School, and Franklin Community High School, Edinburgh Community High School has a significantly less diverse student population. This could indicate a need for the school to explore strategies to better serve a more diverse student body and prepare all students for success after graduation.

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.
