Summary:

The Shelby Eastern Schools district in Indiana is home to two high schools: Morristown Junior-Senior High School and Waldron Junior-Senior High School. Based on the available data, Morristown Junior-Senior High School appears to be the stronger performing school of the two, ranking 157th out of 431 Indiana high schools in 2023-2024, compared to Waldron's 171st ranking.

Morristown outperforms Waldron and the overall Shelby Eastern Schools district on most academic proficiency metrics, including ILEARN English Language Arts, Math, and Science, as well as SAT Evidence-Based Reading/Writing and Math. For example, in 2024-2025, 49.02% of Morristown students were proficient or better in ILEARN ELA, compared to 39.44% at Waldron and 40.14% district-wide. Similarly, 51.63% of Morristown students were proficient or better in ILEARN Math, compared to 28.17% at Waldron and 41.51% district-wide.

While Morristown's academic performance is stronger, both schools face challenges that warrant further investigation and targeted improvement efforts. For instance, both Morristown and Waldron have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.8% in 2023-2024, and both struggle with SAT Math proficiency, with only 17.14% of Morristown students and 2.5% of Waldron students meeting the benchmark in 2024-2025. Additionally, Waldron's statewide ranking has fluctuated, dropping from 171st in 2023-2024 to 362nd in 2024-2025, which could indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed.
