Western School Corporation

Summary:

The Western School Corporation in Indiana operates four schools, including two elementary schools (Western Intermediate School and Western Primary School), one middle school (Western Middle School), and one high school (Western High School). The district as a whole performs well, with all schools ranked in the top 69 out of 380 districts in Indiana and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Western High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 48th out of 431 Indiana high schools and boasting a 4-star rating. The school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.4% and strong performance in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, with 61.93% proficiency. Western Middle School also impresses, ranking 71st out of 485 Indiana middle schools and achieving 51.31% proficiency in ILEARN/English Language Arts.

While the district overall performs well, there are some areas for potential improvement. All schools in the district had a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024, which could be an area of concern. Additionally, in some grade-level ILEARN assessments, such as 3rd grade ILEARN/Math, the schools underperformed compared to the state average, indicating a need for targeted interventions. Nevertheless, the Western School Corporation appears to provide a strong and consistent educational system for its students.
