Summary:
The North Central Parke Community School Corp district in Indiana serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools - 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school.
Among the standout schools in the district, Turkey Run Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages on ILEARN tests, particularly in math and science. The school maintains a low chronic absenteeism rate and has a student-teacher ratio of 11.5. In contrast, Parke Heritage High School has a relatively high graduation rate of 88.4% and spends the most per student at $18,750, with a low student-teacher ratio of 7.9.
Overall, the schools in the district generally perform below the state averages on standardized tests, with the exception of Turkey Run Elementary. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.49% to 65.79%, suggests significant economic challenges faced by the student population, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the significant difference in per-student spending between the high school and elementary schools indicates a potential imbalance in resource allocation that could be addressed to support student success across the district.
