Summary:
The Cowan Community School Corp district in Indiana operates two schools - Cowan Elementary School and Cowan High School. While the elementary school shows strengths in math proficiency, both schools face challenges in improving English Language Arts performance. The high school maintains a solid graduation rate, but the district as a whole grapples with high chronic absenteeism rates.
Cowan Elementary School stands out for its relatively high math proficiency, with over 50% of students proficient or better in 4th and 6th grade ILEARN Math. However, the school struggles with English Language Arts, with only 28.15% of students proficient or better across all grades. In contrast, Cowan High School boasts a solid 88.4% four-year graduation rate, but faces challenges in math proficiency, with only 28.32% of students proficient or better in ILEARN Math.
Both schools in the Cowan Community School Corp district face high chronic absenteeism rates, around 18%, which may be impacting overall academic performance. The district should investigate the root causes and implement strategies to improve attendance. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at the high school compared to the elementary school suggests the need for more equitable resource allocation across all schools in the district.
