Summary:

The Paoli Community School Corp district in Indiana serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in its portfolio - Throop Elementary School and Paoli Junior & Senior High School. While both schools have faced challenges, the data suggests the district as a whole is underperforming compared to state averages.

Throop Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 384th out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 529th out of 1,005 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates on ILEARN tests are generally below state averages, particularly in math, with only 22.5% of 5th graders meeting proficiency standards compared to 41.5% statewide. Paoli Junior & Senior High School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Indiana high schools, ranking 284th out of 429 in 2024-2025, and struggles with low math proficiency rates, with just 29.94% of students across all grades meeting standards compared to 36.33% for the district.

Both schools face high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.8%, well above the state average, and have significant percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, with Throop Elementary at 48.88% and Paoli Junior & Senior High at 51.66%. While the district spends relatively high amounts per student, with Throop Elementary at $10,928 and Paoli Junior & Senior High at $12,347, the academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting a need to address the efficient and effective use of resources within the district.
