Summary:
The MSD Shakamak Schools district in Indiana is home to a single high school, Shakamak Junior-Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and overall SchoolDigger rating over the past few years.
Shakamak Junior-Senior High School faces significant academic challenges, with test scores in mathematics and English language arts consistently below the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate was 88.4% in 2023-2024, and its chronic absenteeism rate was 17.8% in the same year. Additionally, a relatively high percentage of the school's students (45.42%) were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's access to a reasonable level of resources, as evidenced by its per-student spending of $11,965 and a student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1 in 2023-2024, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The school's inconsistent performance and academic challenges highlight the need for further investigation and targeted strategies to address the root causes of these issues and improve student success.
