High Schools in North Lawrence Com Schools

Summary:

The North Lawrence Com Schools district in Indiana is home to a single high school, Bedford-North Lawrence High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 150th out of 398 Indiana high schools in 2022-2023 to 191st out of 429 in 2024-2025. While the school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with relatively low proficiency rates in ILEARN/Biology and SAT/Mathematics, it has stronger performance in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing.

Bedford-North Lawrence High School had a 88.4% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, but also faced a 17.8% chronic absenteeism rate during that same period. The school's socioeconomic challenges are evident, with 50.36% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $11,194, which may indicate efforts to address these challenges, but further analysis would be needed to understand the effectiveness of these efforts.

Overall, the data suggests that Bedford-North Lawrence High School is facing some performance and socioeconomic challenges, which may be contributing to its declining statewide ranking. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as improving instruction in math and science, addressing chronic absenteeism, and supporting students from low-income families, could be important areas of focus for the school and the district.
