Medora Community School Corp

The Medora Community School Corp district in Indiana operates two schools - Medora STEM Academy, an elementary school, and Medora Junior & Senior High School. Both schools are struggling, with low statewide rankings and test scores well below state averages.

Medora STEM Academy is ranked 756 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math range from 23.08% to 50%, significantly below state averages. Medora Junior & Senior High School fares even worse, ranking 347 out of 398 Indiana high schools with a 1-star rating. Its proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts, Math, and Science are also well below state averages, with some grades having 0% proficiency. The school's SAT performance is particularly concerning, with 0% proficiency in Math for 11th graders.

Both schools face high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.8% and serve economically disadvantaged student populations, with free/reduced lunch rates of 59% at Medora STEM Academy and 66.67% at Medora Junior & Senior High School. While the high school spends more per student ($14,327) than the elementary school ($11,463), the district's resource allocation may not be effectively addressing the academic needs of its students across the board.
