Summary:
The Northeast School Corp district in Indiana has only one high school, North Central Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 309 out of 398 Indiana high schools in 2022-2023 to 366 out of 429 in 2024-2025, placing it in the bottom 15% of high schools in the state.
North Central Junior/Senior High School's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 88.4%, slightly below the state average. The school also had a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state average. Academically, the school's performance on standardized tests, such as ILEARN and SAT, is significantly below state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels, with only 24.03% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district average of 30.5% and the state average of 37.9%.
The school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 46.81% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's below-average academic outcomes, its per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $13,560, slightly higher than the state average. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 13.9, which is slightly lower than the state average.
