Summary:
Eminence Community School Corp is home to exactly one high school, Eminence Junior-Senior High School, a combined junior-senior high serving grades 6–12 with 148 students in Eminence, Indiana. Because it is the only school providing those grades, the school's figures and the district's are nearly identical, so its results are best read against state benchmarks rather than against neighboring schools. With roughly 20 students per grade, one student's performance can shift a percentage by several points.
The clearest bright spot is English/language arts. ILEARN ELA at All Grades rose from 24.59% to 31.08% proficient, now above the district's 25.19%, and SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing more than doubled, from 15% to 37.5%. Science is the most competitive core subject, trailing the state by only about 4.5 points at 6th grade. Mathematics is the opposite story: the school trails the state at every grade tested — about 13.5 points in 6th grade, 21.6 in 7th, and 16.8 in 8th — and SAT Math was reported at 0% proficient in both years, a reported zero rather than a suppressed value.
Several non-test factors shape these results. Chronic absenteeism is 31.1%, nearly 1.9 times the state's 16.7%, and the graduation rate is 84.6% versus the state's 89.7%. Even so, the school spends $16,656 per student and has an 8.7:1 student-teacher ratio, with 54.05% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school holds a 1-star rating and ranks 346 of 415 (17th percentile), up from 382 of 429 (11th percentile). The most promising levers are secondary math instruction and attendance; the strongest existing asset is the upward ELA trajectory.
