Oak Hill United School Corp

The Oak Hill United School Corp operates 5 schools in the area, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is located in a community with a mix of economic backgrounds.

Within the district, Oak Hill Junior High School and Swayzee Elementary School stand out as the top performers, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Indiana middle schools. These schools demonstrate strong academic results, with over 50% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math. Meanwhile, Oak Hill High School has shown improvement in recent years, moving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating and maintaining a graduation rate of 88.4%, which is above the state average.

However, the district faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of around 17.8% across all schools and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with up to 48% of students at Converse Elementary School receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While some schools, like Swayzee Elementary and Oak Hill Junior High, demonstrate strong academic performance, others, like Sweetser Elementary School, lag behind the district and state averages, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure more consistent performance across the district.
