Summary:
The 47512 zip code in Indiana is home to two schools: North Knox Junior-Senior High School and North Knox Primary School, both part of the North Knox School Corp. While the high school serves grades 7-12 with a relatively large enrollment of 543 students, the primary school caters to grades K-2 with 275 students. Both schools have a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of Hispanic and African American students.
Academically, the schools face some challenges, with both performing below state averages on ILEARN and SAT tests, particularly in mathematics. The high school's ELA proficiency rate is 43.5%, while its math proficiency is only 22.5%. However, the high school boasts an impressive 96.3% four-year graduation rate. Attendance is also a concern, with the high school reporting a chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4%, significantly higher than the primary school's 19.5%. Socioeconomic factors play a role, as the primary school has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 62.91%, compared to 55.99% at the high school.
Despite the schools' academic and attendance challenges, the district appears to be investing resources, with the high school spending $11,253 per student and the primary school spending $11,013 per student. The student-teacher ratios are also relatively low, at 14.6 for the high school and 13 for the primary school. However, the data suggests that these resources may not be translating into optimal student outcomes, and the district may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its spending and resource allocation to address the identified areas for improvement.
