Maconaquah High School

Summary:

Maconaquah High School is a public high school located in Bunker Hill, Indiana, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 594. The school is part of the Maconaquah School Corporation, which is ranked 231 out of 381 school districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maconaquah High School faces some challenges compared to nearby high-performing schools like Oak Hill High School and Eastern High School. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is mixed, with the school performing better than the state average in some areas but lagging behind in others. Additionally, Maconaquah High School has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rate, from 92.1% in 2019-2020 to 86.1% in 2022-2023, which is still higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 21.0% in 2020-2021 to 28.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby schools.

One potential contributing factor to Maconaquah High School's challenges may be its relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 52.19% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the nearby schools. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with special needs, is also notably lower than the overall school performance and the state averages, suggesting that the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of these subgroups. Despite these challenges, Maconaquah High School's spending per student has increased over the years, and its student-teacher ratio is similar to the nearby schools, indicating that factors beyond funding and class size may be contributing to the school's performance.

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.
