Summary:
The 47043 zip code area in Indiana is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Switzerland County School Corp district. While the schools share a common district, they exhibit varying levels of academic performance and student demographics, with some standout schools emerging from the data.
Switzerland County Senior High School stands out with a 38.6% proficiency rate in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, but a lower 9.65% proficiency rate in SAT/Mathematics. In contrast, Jefferson-Craig Elementary School has shown mixed performance on ILEARN assessments, with some grade levels exceeding the state average in English Language Arts and Math, while others fall below. Meanwhile, Switzerland County Middle School has a stronger performance in English Language Arts compared to Math on ILEARN assessments and a lower student-teacher ratio of 15.4.
Across the schools, there are common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 26.3% to 28.6% and a high percentage of students (50.11% to 57.77%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. These factors may contribute to the overall academic performance of the schools, which generally underperform compared to state averages, particularly in mathematics. The data suggests opportunities for the district to learn from the successes of the higher-performing schools and implement strategies to improve the lower-performing ones, addressing the root causes of the observed performance gaps.
