North Daviess Com Schools

The North Daviess Com Schools district in Indiana operates two schools: North Daviess Elementary School (grades K-6) and North Daviess Junior-Senior High School (grades 7-12). The district is ranked 153 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Daviess Junior-Senior High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 85th out of 431 Indiana high schools and earning a 4-star rating. In contrast, North Daviess Elementary School has consistently high test scores, exceeding district and state averages in ILEARN/English Language Arts, ILEARN/Math, and ILEARN/Science. Both schools, however, face challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is above the state average.

The data also reveals that a significant portion of students in the district come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free and reduced lunch rates around 50% at both schools. This highlights the importance of ensuring equitable access to resources and support for these students. Additionally, the difference in per-student spending between the elementary and high school, with the high school spending nearly $2,600 more per student, is an interesting data point that could warrant further investigation into the allocation of resources and potential impacts on student outcomes.
