Summary:
The Greater Clark County Schools district in Indiana is home to three high schools: Jeffersonville High School, Charlestown Senior High School, and New Washington Middle/High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and offer a range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.
Among the three high schools, New Washington Middle/High School stands out as the highest-performing, with a statewide ranking of 125th out of 429 Indiana high schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school has consistently improved its ranking over the past three years and outperforms the district and state averages on several key test score metrics, including ILEARN English Language Arts, Math, and Science, as well as SAT Evidence-based Reading/Writing and Math. Additionally, New Washington Middle/High School has a lower chronic absenteeism rate, spends the most per student, and has the lowest student-teacher ratio, indicating smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.
While the three high schools share the same four-year graduation rate of 88.4% and chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, there are notable differences in their academic performance. Charlestown Senior High School has the highest proficiency rates in ILEARN Biology and SAT Evidence-based Reading/Writing and Math, while Jeffersonville High School has the lowest proficiency rates in SAT Math. These disparities suggest opportunities for the district to identify and share best practices from the higher-performing schools to help improve outcomes at the lower-performing schools.
