The Lewis Cass Schools district in Indiana contains a single high school, Lewis Cass High School, which serves grades 9-12. The data shows that the school has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking and performance ratings over the past few years, indicating some academic challenges.
Lewis Cass High School's statewide ranking has dropped from 202 out of 429 Indiana high schools in 2024-2025 to 248 out of 398 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars over the same period. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.4% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in ILEARN/Biology and SAT/Mathematics are significantly below the state average, suggesting a need for improvement in these subject areas.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,850, which is slightly above the state average, and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.3, the data indicates that the school is facing challenges in supporting student learning and achievement. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 43.96%, suggests that the school may be serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which could contribute to the academic challenges the school is facing. Overall, the data points to the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve the performance and outcomes at Lewis Cass High School.
