Summary:
The Caston Junior-Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Caston School Corporation in Indiana. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate, its overall performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly in recent years.
The school's standardized test scores, such as ILEARN and SAT, are generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.32% in SAT Mathematics to 59.46% in ILEARN Biology. Additionally, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is a concern. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.1 is slightly higher than the state average, and its per-student spending of $12,372 may indicate potential resource allocation challenges.
Despite these areas of concern, the school does have some positive metrics, such as its 88.4% four-year graduation rate, which is above the state average. However, the school's high percentage of students (57.37%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that it may face additional challenges in supporting its economically disadvantaged student population.
