Summary:
The city of Marengo, Indiana is home to 3 schools that serve students from middle school through high school, all part of the Crawford County Community School Corp. While the district is ranked 217 out of 380 in Indiana and has a 2-star rating, the standout school appears to be Crawford County Middle School, which has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Indiana middle schools over the past 3 years with a 4-star rating.
In contrast, the two high schools, Crawford County High School and Crawford County Virtual Academy, have more mixed performance. Crawford County High School is ranked in the bottom half of Indiana high schools with a 2-star rating, while the Crawford County Virtual Academy is ranked even lower with a 0-star rating. Both high schools have graduation rates slightly below the state average and high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing factors to their academic challenges.
The data also reveals significant differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools, with the virtual academy spending only $3,718 per student and having a student-teacher ratio of 38:1, compared to the middle school and high school spending over $13,000 per student and having ratios around 12:1. These resource disparities may also play a role in the performance gaps observed between the schools.
