Summary:

North Central Junior/Senior High School is a public school in Farmersburg, Indiana, serving grades 7-12 with a student population of 374. While the school is part of the Northeast School Corporation, which is ranked 265 out of 381 districts in the state, North Central Junior/Senior High School itself consistently ranks in the bottom half of Indiana high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, North Central Junior/Senior High School struggles, with test scores significantly lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 19.67% of students were proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to the district's 27.94% and the state's 41.8% for 7th grade. The school's four-year graduation rate, while above the state average, has fluctuated between 85.7% and 96.1% in recent years, and it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 11.0% to 26.3%. Compared to nearby high schools like Terre Haute North Vigo High School, West Vigo High School, and Linton-Stockton High School, North Central Junior/Senior High School generally performs worse academically.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student over the years, North Central Junior/Senior High School's academic challenges persist. The school's predominantly White student population (over 95%) and high percentage of students from low-income families (over 50% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may be contributing factors to its struggles. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community.

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.
