Summary:
The North Central Parke Community School Corp district in Indiana has only one middle school, Parke Heritage Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance and characteristics provide a mixed picture, with some areas of concern but also signs of adequate resources.
Parke Heritage Middle School is ranked 234 out of 480 Indiana middle schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are generally lower than the state averages, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 and higher-than-average spending per student at $11,060. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is above the state average.
Overall, the data suggests that Parke Heritage Middle School has room for improvement in academic performance, particularly in core subjects like English and Math. The school's resources, including its low student-teacher ratio and higher spending, indicate that there may be opportunities to optimize the use of these resources to drive better student outcomes. The district and school leadership may need to focus on targeted interventions and support programs to address the needs of the student population, which has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
