Seeger Memorial Junior-Senior High School

Summary:

Seeger Memorial Junior-Senior High School is a public high school in West Lebanon, Indiana, serving around 620 students in grades 7-12. The school is part of the MSD Warren County school district, which is ranked 196 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Seeger Memorial has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 21st out of 389 Indiana high schools in 2018-2019 to 287th out of 431 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 5 stars to 2 stars during this time. Seeger Memorial's proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math are consistently lower than the state and district averages, and its SAT performance is below average, with only 43.04% of 11th graders proficient in Evidence-based Reading and Writing and just 11.39% proficient in Math. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.0% in 2020-2021 to 17.7% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Benton Central Junior-Senior High School has consistently outperformed Seeger Memorial in statewide rankings, test scores, and graduation rates. Similarly, Fountain Central High School and Covington Community High School have higher statewide rankings, better test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Seeger Memorial. To address these challenges, the school and district should investigate the root causes of achievement gaps, improve student attendance, and explore partnerships with high-performing schools to learn from their best practices.

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.

Open Quote I have 4 children in the Warren County School district and also drive a bus for Seeger as well. Seeger High School, along with all of the elementary schools within the district are exceptional places to enroll your child. Each school individually offers a great learning environment and our children are taught by some of the best, most caring teachers. Our teachers go above and beyond to meet the needs of every child that walks through the door. From a kindergarteners first year to the senior walking across stage in May receiving their diploma. The saying “It takes a village” has never been a more true statement and so fitting for what our school represents. Instead of just a school, we’re a village. Close Quote

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.
