Summary:

The C A Beard Memorial School Corp district in Indiana contains a single high school, Knightstown High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 201 out of 398 high schools in 2022-2023 to 318 out of 431 in 2023-2024, and a current 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average performance.

Knightstown High School's graduation rate of 88.4% in 2023-2024 is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is higher than the state average. The school's academic performance is uneven, with proficiency rates on ILEARN/Biology and SAT/Math below the state average, while its SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing scores are closer to the state average. Additionally, 44.79% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the school's economic challenges, its per-student spending of $14,649 in 2023-2024 is only slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 11.5 is lower than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may need additional resources to support its student population and address the areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and uneven academic performance.
