Summary:
In zip code 47150, there is one public high school serving grades 9-12: New Albany Senior High School, which is part of the New Albany-Floyd County Con School District. This school serves a student population where over half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant number of students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
New Albany Senior High School has a strong graduation rate of 88.4%, which is a positive indicator of student success in completing their high school education. However, the school faces challenges with a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is a concern for student engagement and overall academic achievement. Academically, the school performs above the state average in Biology proficiency, but falls below both district and state averages in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing. A significant area of concern is the SAT Mathematics proficiency, which is substantially lower than both district and state averages, suggesting a need for targeted improvement in this subject area.
The school's statewide ranking has been consistent, placing it in the 2-star category. With a student-teacher ratio of 18.3 and spending per student of $11,126, the school appears to have adequate resources. However, the data suggests that while the school is effective in graduating its students, there are specific academic areas, particularly mathematics, that require further attention and potential intervention to improve student outcomes and bring them closer to district and state performance levels.
