Summary:
The Northwestern School Corp district in Indiana consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's standout performer is Northwestern Senior High School, which ranks 20th out of 431 Indiana high schools and boasts a 93% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Howard Elementary School struggles with lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages.
The data reveals a disparity in academic performance across the district's elementary schools. Northwestern Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Indiana elementary schools and outperforms the district and state on standardized tests, while Howard Elementary lags behind. This difference may be attributed to factors such as student demographics, resource allocation, or teaching quality.
Interestingly, the higher spending per student at Northwestern Senior High School ($9,930) compared to the elementary schools ($7,881 for Northwestern Elementary and $9,841 for Howard Elementary) suggests a potential correlation between resources and student outcomes. However, the data also indicates that factors beyond just funding may be at play, as the lower spending at Howard Elementary School does not translate to stronger academic performance.
