Summary:
Maconaquah School Corp is a school district in Indiana that serves the local community, with Maconaquah High School being the sole high school in the district. While the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 88.4%, its statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 145th out of 398 Indiana high schools in 2022-2023 to 235th out of 429 in 2024-2025. This trend suggests that the school may be facing some challenges that warrant further investigation.
Maconaquah High School's performance in key academic areas is also a concern. The school's test scores are generally below the state average, with only 39.64% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/Biology and 47.86% proficient or better in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing. The school's performance in SAT/Mathematics is particularly low, with only 16.43% of students proficient or better. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which could be contributing to its declining performance.
Despite these challenges, Maconaquah High School does have some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 18:1. However, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (47.52%) indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may require targeted interventions and support. Overall, the Maconaquah School Corp and its sole high school have room for improvement, and the district may want to closely examine the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance and develop a comprehensive plan to address them.
