Summary:
The Options Charter Schools district in Indiana operates three high schools: Options Indiana, Options Westfield, and Options Noblesville. While the district as a whole faces challenges in improving academic proficiency and overall school rankings, one standout school emerges: Options Westfield.
Options Westfield ranks 259 out of 429 Indiana high schools, the highest among the three schools. It also has the highest SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency rate at 55.56%, significantly above the district average of 37.19%. Additionally, Options Westfield outperforms the district and state averages in ILEARN English Language Arts and Science proficiency rates. In contrast, Options Noblesville stands out with 0% proficiency in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math for all grades in 2024-2025.
Despite the academic underperformance of some schools, all three maintain a consistent 88.4% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024. However, the schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% in 2023-2024, which may be a contributing factor to their academic challenges. The wide range in per-student spending, from $8,474 to $21,124, does not seem to directly correlate with academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be at play in driving student performance.
