Summary:
Carroll Consolidated School Corp operates a single middle school, Carroll Junior High School, serving grades 6-8 in the rural community of Flora, Indiana. While the school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, its academic performance, as measured by ILEARN proficiency rates, tends to fall slightly below state averages in both English Language Arts and Math.
Carroll Junior High School faces some socioeconomic challenges, with 46.3% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.4 is lower than the state average, and its per-student spending of $10,039 for the 2023-2024 school year suggests a reasonable level of resource allocation. One area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is a metric that the district may need to address to improve overall student engagement and achievement.
Overall, Carroll Consolidated School Corp appears to be providing a relatively stable educational experience at the middle school level, with opportunities for improvement in academic performance and student attendance. As the district continues to support its sole middle school, it may benefit from further analysis of the factors contributing to the school's strengths and weaknesses, as well as strategies for addressing the unique challenges faced by its student population.
