Summary:
The city of Jasonville, Indiana is home to two schools - Shakamak Elementary School and Shakamak Junior-Senior High School, both part of the MSD Shakamak Schools district. While the high school has performed relatively well, with a 4-star rating and high statewide ranking, the district as a whole is struggling, with a 2-star rating and ranking in the bottom third of Indiana districts.
Shakamak Junior-Senior High School stands out as a relatively high-performing high school, earning a strong 4-star rating and ranking 119 out of 431 Indiana high schools in the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, Shakamak Elementary School had a 3-star rating, which is above average for the district. However, both schools face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.8% and large performance gaps compared to state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math proficiency.
The data also reveals declining performance across both schools, with their statewide rankings and ratings dropping from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025. This suggests systemic issues within the district that will require targeted interventions and support to address. While the high school shows some strengths, such as stronger performance in Biology End-of-Course exams, the overall picture indicates the schools in Jasonville face significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to their students.
