Shenandoah High School stands out for its consistently high performance. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.1%) compared to nearby schools, and its four-year graduation rate reached 98.9% in 2022-2023, exceeding the state average. Academically, Shenandoah High School students perform better than the state average on standardized tests, with 52.94% of 11th-graders proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, compared to the state average of 50.51%. The school also ranks highly for the performance of its special education and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, outperforming many of its neighbors such as Eastern Hancock High School and Pendleton Heights High School.

However, Shenandoah High School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 33 out of 379 Indiana high schools in 2013-2014 to 169 out of 431 in 2023-2024, suggesting that other schools in the state may be improving at a faster rate. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 0.0% in 2020-2021 to 24.9% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern. While Shenandoah High School outperforms many of its nearby counterparts, it lags behind the highly-ranked Yorktown High School in several metrics.

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.
