Summary:

The data set provided information on a single high school located in the 46312 zip code - East Chicago Central High School. This school serves a predominantly minority student population, with significant academic and socioeconomic challenges that have contributed to its persistent underperformance compared to state averages.

School City of East Chicago, the district that oversees East Chicago Central High School, faces the challenge of supporting a student population that is 42.26% African American, 53.48% Hispanic, and only 1.2% White. The school's academic performance is concerning, with low proficiency rates in key subjects like SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing (25.94% proficient or better) and SAT/Mathematics (3.35% proficient or better). Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 74.0% is lower than the state average.

Addressing the issues at East Chicago Central High School will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.3% and the fact that 77.39% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggest that socioeconomic challenges play a significant role in the school's struggles. While the school spends $13,691 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, these resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes. The district and school leaders will need to explore more targeted, evidence-based strategies to support student learning and engagement and address the underlying factors contributing to the school's persistent underperformance.
