Summary:
The Alexandria Community School Corp district in Indiana operates two schools - Alexandria Monroe Elementary School and Alexandria-Monroe High School. While the elementary school appears to be a relative bright spot, the high school is struggling significantly on academic measures.
Alexandria Monroe Elementary School has a higher statewide ranking, better test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism compared to the high school. Over 43% of its students are proficient or better in ELA and 49% in Math, which is above the district average. In contrast, only 23% of Alexandria-Monroe High School students are proficient or better in ELA and 22% in Math, well below the district averages.
The high school also lags behind on other key metrics, including a 4-year graduation rate of 88.4% which is below the state average. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates at 17.8%, which is likely a major contributor to the weaker academic outcomes. Over 50% of students at both schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the need for targeted support and resources to help close achievement gaps across the Alexandria Community School Corp district.
