Summary:
The Borden-Henryville School Corporation operates four schools in the area, including two elementary schools and two high schools. The data reveals stark performance differences between the schools, with William W Borden Elementary School and William W Borden High School consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests, while the Henryville Elementary School and Henryville Junior & Senior High School struggle to meet state benchmarks.
William W Borden Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, with over 50% proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also holds a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top 25% of elementary schools in Indiana. Similarly, William W Borden High School demonstrates strong academic performance, ranking in the top 15% of high schools in the state and earning a 4-star rating.
However, the district as a whole faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which are 17.8% - higher than the state average. Additionally, there is a significant gap in per-student spending between the elementary and high schools, with the high schools receiving around $5,000 more per student. Addressing attendance issues and ensuring equitable resource allocation could help improve outcomes for all students in the Borden-Henryville School Corporation.
