Summary:
The city of Linton, Indiana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Linton-Stockton Elementary, Linton-Stockton High School, and Linton-Stockton Middle School. These schools are part of the Linton-Stockton School Corporation and serve a predominantly White student population.
Linton-Stockton Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Indiana elementary schools and maintaining a 4-star rating. The school's strong academic results, low chronic absenteeism, and relatively high per-student spending suggest effective resource allocation and teaching practices. In contrast, Linton-Stockton Middle School lags behind the district and state in academic proficiency, particularly in Math, and has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, indicating a need for targeted interventions.
While Linton-Stockton High School has shown improvement in its SchoolDigger ranking, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating over the past three years, its academic performance on standardized tests remains below the state average. However, the school's impressive 98.9% four-year graduation rate is a positive indicator. Across the district, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility suggest the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student outcomes and ensure equitable distribution of educational resources.
