Switzerland County Middle School

Summary:

Switzerland County Middle School is a public middle school located in Vevay, Indiana, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 244 students. The school is part of the Switzerland County School Corporation, which is ranked 211 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Switzerland County Middle School shares some similarities with the nearby Madison Consolidated Junior High School and Ohio County Middle School, it stands out in several key areas. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.26%) compared to the nearby schools, and it has experienced a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 24.4% to 42.3% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the other two schools. Additionally, Switzerland County Middle School's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is generally lower than the nearby schools and the state averages.

Another interesting finding is that Switzerland County Middle School's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from a high of 162 out of 470 Indiana middle schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 345 out of 483 in 2020-2021. This suggests that the school's performance has been declining relative to other middle schools in the state. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.79% to 53.69% over the past three school years, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors suggest that Switzerland County Middle School could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address these areas of concern and improve the overall quality of education for its students.

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.
