Summary:
The city of Modoc, Indiana has 5 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Union School Corporation district. While the district as a whole is ranked 327 out of 380 in Indiana and has a 1-star rating, there are notable differences in performance between the schools.
Union Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, the two virtual schools, Indiana Digital Elementary and Indiana Digital Junior and High School, consistently underperformed the in-person schools on test scores and other metrics. The Union Junior & High School also had the highest SAT scores in the district.
Across the district, there are concerns around equity, with schools serving higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch tending to have lower academic performance. Additionally, many schools saw declines in test scores from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, suggesting broader challenges that need to be addressed. Improving instructional quality, resource allocation, and addressing chronic absenteeism will be key priorities for the Union School Corporation to raise student outcomes across the district.
