South Adams Schools

The South Adams Schools district in Indiana consists of three schools: South Adams Elementary School, South Adams High School, and South Adams Middle School. The district is performing relatively well, with several standout schools and a consistent level of performance across the district.

South Adams High School is a standout, ranking 54th out of 429 Indiana high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 88.4% four-year graduation rate and strong performance on ILEARN Biology and SAT assessments, with over 50% proficiency in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. South Adams Middle School is also a strong performer, ranking 128th out of 480 Indiana middle schools and maintaining high proficiency rates in ILEARN Math and Science, exceeding the state averages in several grade levels.

While the district is performing well overall, there are some areas of concern. All three schools in the district have a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is a significant issue that the district should prioritize addressing. Additionally, the schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.92% at South Adams High School to 50.68% at South Adams Middle School, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The district may want to explore strategies to address these equity concerns and ensure all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
