Summary:

The Griffith Public Schools district in Indiana consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Beiriger Elementary School and Elsie Wadsworth Elementary School) and 1 junior/senior high school (Griffth Junior/Senior High School). The data reveals notable differences in the performance and characteristics of these schools.

Beiriger Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking 419 out of 1,005 Indiana elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in ILEARN test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Griffth Junior/Senior High School lags behind, with lower ILEARN proficiency rates compared to the district and state, particularly in Math.

Funding also appears to play a role, as Elsie Wadsworth Elementary School, the highest-spending school, also has the strongest performance among the three. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is a concern that may be contributing to the lower academic achievement, especially at the high school level.
