Best High Schools in Zip Code 46161

Summary:

The zip code 46161 is home to a single high school, Morristown Junior-Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. This school stands out for its impressive 97.7% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's student population is quite homogeneous, with 94.38% of students identifying as White, which may be an area for the school to address.

Academically, Morristown Junior-Senior High School's performance is mixed. While the school's overall ILEARN proficiency rates in English Language Arts (42.67%) and Math (46.67%) are slightly above the district average, they are still below the state averages. The school's SAT performance is also varied, with strong reading/writing scores but low math scores. Additionally, with 40.62% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely faces some socioeconomic challenges that may impact student achievement.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $11,391, which is higher than the state average, it's unclear if this additional funding is translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 9.7% is also slightly higher than the state average, which could be an area for improvement. Overall, Morristown Junior-Senior High School appears to be a relatively strong school with some areas for improvement, particularly in diversifying its student population and addressing academic performance gaps in certain subject areas and grade levels.
