The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Indiana high schools, with a low SchoolDigger rating of 1 out of 5 stars, indicating poor overall performance.
The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.4% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is higher than the state average. Academically, Hoosier College and Career Academy's proficiency rates on ILEARN and SAT assessments are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 21.12% of students proficient or better in ILEARN English Language Arts and just 4.36% proficient or better in ILEARN Math. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 59.57% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $10,503, which is slightly above the state average, the school's performance and student-teacher ratio of 21.1 suggest that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning and achievement.
