Summary

Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School is a public school serving grades 7-12 in Osgood, Indiana, with 384 students. The school is part of the Jac-Cen-Del Community School Corp district, which is ranked 183 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its own district averages on standardized tests like ILEARN and SAT. For example, in 2024-2025, only 40.22% of students were proficient or better in ILEARN English Language Arts, compared to 36.7% for the district. The school's 4-year graduation rate has also fluctuated between 87.2% and 97.3% over the past few years, which is generally lower than the state average. Additionally, Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 8.9% to 19.2% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as East Central High School, Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School generally underperforms on academic measures, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past several years, from a high of 149 out of 400 Indiana high schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 326 out of 429 in 2024-2025. Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending is on par with or higher than nearby high-performing schools, suggesting that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized.
