Summary

Mississinewa High School is a public high school located in Gas City, Indiana, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 790 students. The school is part of the Mississinewa Community School Corporation, which is ranked 235 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mississinewa High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Indiana high schools, ranging from 263rd to 336th out of 398-429 schools over the past 5 years. It has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, with a brief drop to a 1-star rating in 2021-2022. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and students with special needs performing relatively well, while White students and economically disadvantaged students perform poorly. Mississinewa High School's four-year graduation rate is around 88%, slightly below the state average, and the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.9% to 27.3% over the past few years, significantly above the state average.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Alexandria-Monroe High School, Wes-Del Middle/Senior High School, and Blackford Junior-Senior High School, Mississinewa High School's performance is generally lower, with these schools tending to have higher rankings, graduation rates, and academic proficiency levels. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is also below state and district averages, suggesting that the Mississinewa Community School Corporation may need to implement more effective strategies and interventions to improve student outcomes at the high school level.
