Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School

Summary:

Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School is a public school located in Osgood, Indiana, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 383 students. The school is part of the Jac-Cen-Del Community School Corp district, which is ranked 243 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jac-Cen-Del has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.82%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 91.36% to 96.25% white students. The school has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 91.1% to 100% over the past 5 years, which is on par with or better than the nearby schools like East Central High School and North Decatur Junior-Senior High School. However, Jac-Cen-Del's test scores, particularly in ILEARN/English Language Arts and ILEARN/Math, are generally lower than the state and district averages, as well as the nearby schools.

Jac-Cen-Del's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 74 out of 379 Indiana high schools in 2013-2014 (4-star rating) to a low of 317 out of 431 in 2023-2024 (1-star rating). The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.7% to 49.09% over the past 3 years, which is higher than some of the nearby schools like Batesville High School (23.22%). These factors suggest that Jac-Cen-Del may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education and supporting its students' academic and social-emotional needs.

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.
