Switzerland County Senior High School

Summary:

Switzerland County Senior High School is a public high school in Vevay, Indiana, serving 435 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Rising Sun-Ohio County Com school district, which is ranked 211 out of 381 districts in the state.

While Switzerland County Senior High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.48%) compared to nearby Rising Sun High School (97.79%) and Madison Consolidated High School (86.07%), its academic performance is consistently below the state average. Only 38.6% of 11th-grade students are proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and just 9.65% are proficient or better in SAT Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate has also declined from 94.5% in 2018-2019 to 86.4% in 2022-2023, lower than the rates at Rising Sun High School (95.9%) and Madison Consolidated High School (86.4%).

Switzerland County Senior High School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students (50.11%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's special education students also rank 208 out of 289 Indiana high schools, and its male students outperform its female students, suggesting potential gender-based disparities in academic achievement. With a spending per student of $10,612 in 2021-2022, lower than the nearby Rising Sun High School ($14,428) and Madison Consolidated High School ($11,837), the school may need to focus on improving support and resources for its special education and low-income student populations to address these concerns.

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.
