Summary:
The Benton Community School Corp district in Indiana is home to a single high school, Benton Central Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school has maintained a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, indicating a relatively stable level of performance. However, the school faces some academic challenges, with proficiency rates in ILEARN/English Language Arts and ILEARN/Math below the district and state averages.
Benton Central Junior-Senior High School has a student population of 790 and a student-to-teacher ratio of 13:1. The school has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 50.63%, which may suggest the need to address socioeconomic factors that could be impacting student performance. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 88.4%, slightly below the state average, while its chronic absenteeism rate for the same year was 17.8%, higher than the state average.
The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $15,438, which is relatively high, but it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and outcomes. While the school's performance is generally consistent, more context on how it compares to other high schools within the Benton Community School Corp district, as well as to the state averages, could provide additional insights to guide improvement efforts and support student success.
