Summary

Orleans Junior-Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Orleans, Indiana, with 398 students. The school is part of the Orleans Community Schools district, which is ranked 256 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased per-student spending, Orleans Junior-Senior High School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from a high of #49 in 2015-2016 to #230 in 2024-2025. The school consistently underperforms the state average in academic proficiency, with only 29.45% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 12.33% proficient in math in 2024-2025, well below the state averages. The school's graduation rate also remains below the state average, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 8.5% to 19.2% in recent years.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as West Washington Junior-Senior High School, Orleans Junior-Senior High School generally underperforms in academic proficiency, graduation rates, and other key metrics. The school's performance data also reveals significant disparities among student subgroups, with the school's ranking for special education students in the bottom 25% of Indiana high schools and the ranking for low-socioeconomic status students in the top 40%. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the school's performance and provide a high-quality education for its students.
