Summary:
ZIP code 47037 is served by a single public high school: Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School in Osgood, Indiana, a combined middle and high school covering grades 7 through 12 with about 360 students. It belongs to the Jac-Cen-Del Community School Corp, and because it is the area's only high school, its results and the district's results match exactly on several grade-level and SAT measures.
The school's clearest strengths are completion and attendance. Its graduation rate is 97.7%, about 8 points above Indiana's 89.7%, and chronic absenteeism is 12.7%, better than the state's 16.7% but still above the district's own 10.5%. Eighth grade is a bright spot: 48.89% of students were proficient in math versus 34.2% statewide, and 51.11% in English language arts versus 44% statewide. Seventh grade is weaker and slightly behind the state, at 36% in ELA (state 41.7%) and 34% in math (state 35.9%).
The biggest academic concern is college readiness as measured by the SAT. Eleventh-grade proficiency was 31.25% in evidence-based reading and writing versus 51.9% statewide, and 10.94% in math versus 25.6% statewide. The prior year's gaps were even wider, though SAT math did improve by roughly 3.8 points. The school has also earned 1 star in each of the last three state rankings, placing between the 24th and 27th percentile. For context, about 49.17% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $11,197, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.8; with a small enrollment, SAT results reflect a small group of test-takers and should be read with care.
