Summary:
The city of Borden, Indiana is home to two schools: William W Borden Elementary School and William W Borden High School, both part of the Borden-Henryville School Corporation. While the high school is a standout performer, ranking in the top 20% of Indiana high schools, the elementary school has seen more fluctuations in its statewide ranking.
William W Borden High School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating and impressive academic outcomes, including a high graduation rate and strong performance on standardized tests. In contrast, William W Borden Elementary School, while respectable, has seen its statewide ranking drop from the top 25% to the top 40% over the past 3 years. This suggests a significant performance gap between the elementary and high school levels that may require attention.
The data also reveals differences in funding, with the high school spending significantly more per student than the elementary school. Additionally, both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be impacting overall academic performance. Understanding and addressing these disparities, as well as the potential socioeconomic factors at play, could help drive more consistent success for all students in the Borden school system.
