Summary:
The Pike County School Corp district in Indiana has only one high school, Pike Central High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking between 283 and 300 out of over 400 Indiana high schools. While the school's four-year graduation rate is 88.4%, its chronic absenteeism rate is 17.8%, indicating room for improvement in student engagement and attendance.
Academically, Pike Central High School performs relatively well in ILEARN/Biology and SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, with over 35% of students proficient or better in these areas. However, the school struggles in SAT/Mathematics, with only 10.68% of students reaching proficiency. This disparity suggests a need to focus on strengthening math instruction and support for students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.7 and per-student spending of $13,916 are in line with the overall Pike County School Corp district.
One notable factor is the school's high proportion of students from low-income families, with 42.83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's overall performance and could indicate a need for additional support and resources to address the unique challenges faced by these students. By focusing on improving math instruction, addressing attendance issues, and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students, Pike Central High School can work to enhance its academic outcomes and better serve the needs of its student population.
