Monroe County Community School Corp

The Monroe County Community School Corp district in Indiana consists of 23 schools, including 16 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 110 out of 380 districts in Indiana and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools within the district stand out as top performers, including Unionville Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state with a 5-star rating and exceptional test scores. Childs Elementary School and Jackson Creek Middle School also rank among the best in their respective categories, with strong proficiency rates in core subjects. At the high school level, The Academy of Science & Entrepreneurship is a standout, with a 5-star rating and exceptional performance on the SAT.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district. While some schools, like Unionville Elementary and Jackson Creek Middle, have over 60% proficiency in core subjects, others struggle with less than 20% proficiency. This gap appears to be correlated with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support for economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is a concern that the district should address to improve student learning and achievement.
