Summary:
The 47126 zip code is home to two schools, Henryville Elementary School and Henryville Junior & Senior High School, both part of the Borden-Henryville School Corporation. While the schools have some positive attributes, such as a strong high school graduation rate and adequate funding, they face challenges in academic performance and student engagement.
Henryville Elementary School stands out for its high percentage of white students, over 92%, which is notably higher than the surrounding area. However, the school's academic performance on ILEARN assessments lags behind both the school corporation and Indiana state averages across grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, Henryville Junior & Senior High School performs better on ILEARN and SAT tests, but still falls short of the corporation and state benchmarks, particularly in math proficiency.
Both schools grapple with high chronic absenteeism rates, exceeding 15%, which likely contributes to the lower academic achievement. Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, the schools have not been able to translate these resources into consistently strong learning outcomes. This suggests the district should focus on improving instructional quality, student engagement, and addressing attendance issues to drive meaningful improvements in academic performance.
