Summary

Indiana Digital Alternative School is a public high school located in Modoc, Indiana, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,548 students. The school is part of the Union School Corporation, which is ranked 327 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's significant challenges, including consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Indiana high schools, low standardized test scores, and a concerning decline in its four-year graduation rate from 88.4% in 2023-2024 to 45.0% in 2023-2024, the school's per-student spending has actually increased over the years, from $7,136 in 2020-2021 to $9,712 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the issue may not be solely a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized. The school also has a high rate of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.8% to 65.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Union Junior & High School and Indiana Digital Junior and High School, which are also part of the Union School Corporation, perform better academically than Indiana Digital Alternative School, suggesting that the challenges faced by this school may be unique or more pronounced. Other nearby schools, such as Cowan High School, Northeastern High School, and Hagerstown Junior-Senior High School, which are in different districts, also outperform Indiana Digital Alternative School on various academic metrics.
