Summary:
Attica Consolidated School Corp is a small Indiana district with just two schools covering prekindergarten through 12th grade: Attica Elementary School (PK–5, 247 students) and Attica High School (grades 6–12, 290 students). Total enrollment is 537, and because there is no middle school, the high school record includes middle-grade data. The district ranks 253 of 374 in Indiana, at the 32nd percentile with 2 stars.
The two schools have very different profiles. The elementary school outperforms the district in all-grade ILEARN English/language arts (24.3 vs 19.83), Math (36.19 vs 30.43), and Science (31.58 vs 27.85), while the high school is below the district in all three. The high school's standout is the SAT: Evidence-based Reading and Writing rose from 43.59 to 57.5 and Math from 7.69 to 27.5, both now above state (51.9 and 25.6), helping its rank rebound from 1 star and 26th percentile to 3 stars and 54th percentile. Its graduation rate of 89.1 is just 0.6 points below state. The elementary school, however, has declined in rank three straight years, from the 47th to the 27th percentile, now at 1 star; its closest state comparison is 4th-grade Math, 50 vs 52.
Shared concerns include chronic absenteeism above the state rate of 16.7 at both schools — 22.6 at the high school, 18.3 at the elementary, and 20.6 for the district. Science and social studies are broad weaknesses: high school Biology fell from 26.19 to 22.92, and elementary 5th-grade Social Studies was 23.08 versus state 47.2. The high school spends $16,317 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 10.1, compared with $11,385 and 14.9 at the elementary school. Roughly 55–57% of students at both schools qualify for free or reduced lunch.
