Covington Community School Corp

The Covington Community School Corp district in Indiana serves students from elementary through high school, with three schools in its portfolio: Covington Elementary School, Covington Community High School, and Covington Middle School. The district's schools have demonstrated a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with the high school and middle school standing out as particularly strong performers.

Covington Community High School is the district's top-performing school, ranked 118 out of 429 Indiana high schools and maintaining a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years. The school boasts an impressive 88.4% four-year graduation rate, outpacing the district and state averages. In contrast, Covington Elementary School and Covington Middle School have more mixed results, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the district and state averages on ILEARN tests, while others fall short.

A common challenge across all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the district serves a population with relatively low socioeconomic status, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates at all three schools. While Covington Community High School spends the most per student, the significant difference in spending between the high school and the elementary/middle schools may warrant a closer examination of the district's resource allocation to ensure equitable distribution across all grade levels.
