Prairie Heights Community School Corp

Summary:

The Prairie Heights Community School Corp district in Indiana operates three schools: Prairie Heights Elementary School, Prairie Heights Senior High School, and Prairie Heights Middle School. The district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.

Prairie Heights Senior High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 129 out of 429 Indiana high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school maintains a strong 88.4% four-year graduation rate and performs well on standardized tests, with over 50% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing.

Additionally, student performance can vary significantly across grade levels within the same school, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address these inconsistencies.
