Summary:
Modoc, Indiana has three high schools, all part of Union School Corporation, serving grades 7–12 or 9–12, and all sharing the same address at 8707 W Hwy US 36 — a sign that this location may be an administrative or online-program address rather than three traditional neighborhood campuses. Together they list 5,535 students, but the two "Digital" schools account for 5,404 of them (97.6%), while Union Junior & High School enrolls just 131 students (2.4%).
The smallest school shows the strongest results. Union Junior & High School reports a 100.0% graduation rate (district: 62.3%; state: 89.7%), the lowest chronic absenteeism of the three at 22.9%, the best test proficiency in nearly every subject, the highest per-student spending at $17,471, and a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 3.2. Its small size, however, means rates can swing easily. Indiana Digital Junior and High School, with 4,166 students, has a solid 84.5% graduation rate but weak test scores (SAT Math 2.85%) and a 34.3 student-teacher ratio. Indiana Digital Alternative School faces the greatest challenges: a 41.5% graduation rate, 55.2% chronic absenteeism — more than three times the state's 16.7% — and SAT Math at 0.35%.
Statewide, Union School Corporation ranks 341 of 374 districts (9th percentile, 0 stars), yet the schools differ sharply: Union Junior & High sits at the 22nd percentile (1 star), Indiana Digital Junior and High at the 14th (1 star), and Indiana Digital Alternative at the 5th (0 stars). All three fall in the bottom quartile, and all show flat or declining rank trends over recent years. SAT Math is a district-wide weakness — even the top school (4.76%) trails the state's 25.6% — and absenteeism exceeds the state rate everywhere.
