Culver Community Middle/High School

Summary:

Culver Community Middle/High School is a public school serving 425 students in grades 6-12 in Culver, Indiana, which is part of the Union-North United School Corp district. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges, including lower graduation rates, higher chronic absenteeism, and consistently underperforming state and district averages on standardized tests.

Culver Community Middle/High School has seen fluctuating 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 81.6% to 91.3% over the past 5 years, which is lower than the 100% graduation rate at Triton Junior-Senior High School and the 95.9% rate at Rochester Community High School. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 22.1% to 28.8% over the past 3 years, significantly higher than the 7.0% rate at Knox Community High School and the 12.1% rate at Triton Junior-Senior High School.

Culver Community Middle/High School also consistently underperforms the state and district averages on ILEARN and SAT assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (31.29%) and Math (25.77%) were well below the state and district averages. This suggests that the school is struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state, and the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past 10 years, from a high of 248 out of 400 Indiana high schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 325 out of 431 in 2023-2024.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
