Better than 20% of Indiana alternative schools

Summary

Warren Online Academy is an alternative public school located in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 558 students. The school is part of the MSD Warren Township district, which is ranked 319 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's efforts, Warren Online Academy faces significant challenges. Its four-year graduation rates have declined from 88.4% in 2023-2024 to 66.3% in the same year, which is significantly lower than the state average of 88.4%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 40.4% over the past few years, much higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Impact Academy 2 (17.8%) and Impact Academy 3 (17.8%). Academically, Warren Online Academy's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels.

While the school's spending per student has increased from $4,094 in 2022-2023 to $7,670 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average, the academic performance has not shown significant improvement. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 in 2023-2024 suggests that the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention to students, but the underlying issues, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or student engagement, may be contributing to the challenges. The nearby schools, such as IN School for the Blind & Vis Imprd, also serve alternative student populations and face similar challenges, but Warren Online Academy's performance is generally lower than these schools, indicating that it may face unique obstacles in serving its student population.
