Summary:
Borden-Henryville School Corporation is a small Indiana district serving about 1,733 students across four schools — two PK–6 elementaries and two 7–12 junior/senior high schools — split between the Henryville and Borden communities.
The district is notably polarized. Borden's two schools are both consistently rated 4 stars, while Henryville's two schools are both rated 2 stars, even though the district overall earns 3 stars and ranks 137th of 374 districts (63rd percentile). William W Borden High School is the top performer, with ELA proficiency of 56.57%, Biology at 55.88%, and SAT reading/writing at 67.86% — all far above district and state averages — plus the lowest chronic absenteeism (15.2%), lowest free/reduced lunch rate (28.48%), smallest classes (11.6 students per teacher), and highest spending ($15,275 per student). William W Borden Elementary School is the strongest elementary, with Math at 59.2% and Science at 58.43%, and standout 4th grade results (70.21% in Math, 68.09% in Science).
By contrast, Henryville Elementary School is the largest school (611 students) but the lowest-performing, with ELA at 25.22% and 5th grade ELA and Math both around 15%. It also has the district's highest chronic absenteeism (20.2%). Henryville Junior & Senior High School posts a 100% graduation rate — above the district's 97.0% and the state's 89.7% — but weak proficiency (Math 22.45%, Biology 19.18%) and has slipped from 3 stars to 2 stars. Notably, Borden Elementary has a higher free/reduced lunch rate than Henryville Elementary yet substantially outperforms it, and both high schools fall well below the state in SAT Math (17.86% and 18.67% vs. 25.6%) — a clear district-wide concern.
