High Schools in South Putnam Community Schools

Summary:

South Putnam Community Schools in Indiana has a single high school, South Putnam High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 76th out of 429 Indiana high schools in 2024-2025 to 188th out of 431 in 2023-2024.

South Putnam High School has a four-year graduation rate of 88.4%, which is a positive indicator, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is relatively high. Academically, the school has shown some improvement in proficiency rates, with 55.7% of students proficient in ILEARN/Biology, 59.76% in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and 28.05% in SAT/Mathematics for the 2024-2025 school year. However, these proficiency rates, particularly in mathematics, are still relatively low and could indicate a need for targeted interventions.

The school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 46.56% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending of $14,711 is relatively high, and the student-teacher ratio is 17:1, which is a favorable ratio. These factors suggest that the school is focused on providing adequate resources and support for its students, but further analysis would be needed to understand the impact of these resources on student outcomes.
