Corydon Central Junior High School

Q: Is Corydon Central Junior High School a good school?

Corydon Central Junior High School ranks 85 th of 485 Indiana middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Corydon Central Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Corydon, Indiana, part of the South Harrison Community Schools district. With a student population of 383, the school consistently performs well academically, outpacing state and district averages on ILEARN assessments in both English Language Arts and Math.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, which may contribute to its strong academic performance, it also faces some challenges. Corydon Central Junior High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.9%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 52.22%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. In comparison to nearby schools, such as North Harrison Middle School and Corydon Intermediate School, Corydon Central Junior High School generally outperforms them on academic measures.

One area of potential improvement for the school is its lack of racial diversity, with a student population that is predominantly White (89.3%). Exposure to diverse perspectives can benefit student learning and development, and the school may want to consider ways to address this. Overall, Corydon Central Junior High School is a strong-performing middle school, but it should continue to address the high chronic absenteeism rate and explore opportunities to increase the diversity of its student population.

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.
