Summary:
The 46319 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 junior/senior high school. Based on the available data, Beiriger Elementary School stands out as the top performer, outpacing the district and state averages in several academic subjects. In contrast, Griffth Junior/Senior High School struggles to meet those benchmarks, despite serving a more diverse student population.
Socioeconomic challenges appear to be a common factor across the schools, with all three having a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This may contribute to the disparities in academic performance observed, particularly between the elementary schools and the high school. Additionally, the data suggests funding disparities, with Beiriger Elementary spending the most per student at $10,095, compared to $8,908 at Elsie Wadsworth Elementary and $9,032 at Griffth Junior/Senior High School.
Chronic absenteeism is another area of concern, with Elsie Wadsworth Elementary and Griffth Junior/Senior High School both reporting relatively high rates of 14.3% and 14.0%, respectively. This issue may require further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance and engagement. Overall, the data suggests that the Griffith Public Schools district faces a range of challenges, but also highlights the potential for improvement, particularly at the elementary school level.
