The schools in the 42240 zip code area serve a high-need population, with 65-90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This likely contributes to the overall academic challenges faced by the schools, as evidenced by the high rates of chronic absenteeism (around 25%) across all campuses. While the schools share similar graduation and dropout rates, the wide range in student-teacher ratios, from 7.3 at Christian County Day Treatment to 18.2 at Christian County High School, may also be a factor in their academic performance.
