Summary:
The Argos Community Schools district in Indiana consists of two schools: Argos Community Elementary and Argos Community Junior-Senior High School. The district is ranked 202 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
One standout feature of the district is the significantly lower student-teacher ratio at the junior-senior high school, with a 5:1 ratio compared to 21.8:1 at the elementary school. This suggests the high school may provide more individualized attention and support for students. Additionally, the high school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.4%, which is a positive indicator of student success. However, the elementary school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, an area the district should address.
In terms of academic performance, the elementary school has lower proficiency rates than the state average in most ILEARN subjects and grade levels, while the junior-senior high school has mixed results, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding state averages and others falling short. The high school's SAT performance is also mixed, with stronger results in Evidence-based Reading and Writing compared to Mathematics. The district should evaluate its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to ensure more consistent and equitable outcomes for all students.
