Summary:
Rush County Schools has one high school, Rushville Consolidated High School, which serves 654 students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly White student population (92.05%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, multiracial, African American, and Asian students. Rushville Consolidated High School is a relatively strong performer within the Rush County Schools district, with a 98.8% four-year graduation rate, which exceeds the state average.
Academically, Rushville Consolidated High School's performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to state averages. While the school's SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency rate matches the district average, it falls below the state average. Similarly, the school's SAT/Mathematics proficiency rate matches the district average but is below the state average. In ILEARN/Biology, 22.7% of students were proficient or better, which is lower than the state average of 29%. However, the school's overall ranking of 164 out of 431 Indiana high schools and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest it is a relatively strong performer.
One area of concern for Rushville Consolidated High School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.2%, which is relatively high. Additionally, over 54% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic need among the student population. The school's per-student spending of $11,487 and a student-to-teacher ratio of 14.2 suggest the district is allocating resources to support the school, but further analysis would be needed to determine the effectiveness of this resource allocation.
