Eminence Junior-Senior High School

Summary:

Eminence Junior-Senior High School is a small public school serving grades 6-12 in the rural town of Eminence, Indiana. With a student population of just 178, the school is part of the Eminence Community School Corporation, which is ranked 260 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Eminence Junior-Senior High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.1% to 97.7% over the past five years, the school has faced significant challenges in recent years. Academically, the school consistently underperforms the state and district averages on standardized tests like ILEARN and SAT, with only 22.22% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 14.29% proficient or better in math. This is in stark contrast to nearby high-performing schools like Plainfield High School, Danville Community High School, and Cascade Senior High School, which have significantly higher proficiency rates.

Another concerning trend at Eminence Junior-Senior High School is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.1% in 2020-2021 to 32.3% in 2022-2023 - much higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.44% to 48.31% over the past three years, suggesting the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. The lack of racial diversity at Eminence Junior-Senior High School, with a student population that is 95.58% to 97.75% white, is also noteworthy and may warrant further exploration.

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.
