Ben Davis High School up 24 spots statewide this year
Summary:

Zip code 46214 is home to one public high school, Ben Davis High School, which serves grades 10-12. This large high school has an enrollment of 3,274 students and is part of the MSD Wayne Township district.

Ben Davis High School, while serving a substantial student population, faces challenges in academic performance according to statewide rankings. It is consistently ranked in the lower quartile of Indiana high schools, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite this, the school demonstrates a strong commitment to student success with a commendable four-year graduation rate of 88.4%. However, a significant concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is notably high and could impact student learning. The school also serves a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 68.14% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Ben Davis High School's test score proficiency rates in subjects like Biology and SAT sections are consistently below both the MSD Wayne Township district average and the state average. This disparity is particularly pronounced in SAT Mathematics, where proficiency is significantly lower. The school spends $13,675 per student, which is on the higher end compared to state averages, yet this investment does not appear to translate into higher standardized test performance. The student-teacher ratio is 18.1, which is within a reasonable range, but given the academic data, a lower ratio might offer more individualized support.
