Summary:
The 46774 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (New Haven Intermediate School and New Haven Primary School) and 1 high school (New Haven Junior/Senior High School). While the elementary schools show mixed academic performance, the high school stands out with concerning low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism, despite having a diverse student population.
The high school's academic struggles are particularly evident, with only 33.71% of 11th-graders proficient in Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and just 5.99% proficient in Mathematics. This is significantly below the district and state averages. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 36.7%, which likely contributes to the poor academic outcomes. In contrast, the elementary schools have lower chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.9% to 20.8%, but their performance is more variable, with some grade-level proficiency rates above the district and state, while others are below.
Across all three schools, a high percentage of students (60.64% to 66.73%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages within the student population. This raises concerns about equity and the ability of the schools to provide the necessary resources and support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed. Addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students and improving attendance and academic achievement should be top priorities for the East Allen County Schools district.
