Summary:
The city of North Judson, Indiana is home to two schools - North Judson-San Pierre Elementary School and N Judson-San Pierre Junior Senior High School, both part of the North Judson-San Pierre School Corp district. While the schools serve a high-need population, with over 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, they have seen a decline in their statewide rankings in recent years.
The elementary school has struggled with below-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, though its Science and Social Studies scores are stronger. The high school faces similar challenges, with particularly low Math and Biology proficiency. Both schools also have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.8%. Despite these academic hurdles, the high school maintains a respectable 88.4% 4-year graduation rate.
Interestingly, the high school spends more per student ($14,291) compared to the elementary school ($11,792), but the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this difference. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in North Judson have room for improvement, particularly in boosting proficiency in core subjects and addressing chronic absenteeism, in order to better serve their high-need student populations.
