Summary:

Oak Hill Junior High School is a public middle school located in Converse, Indiana, serving grades 7-8 with a student population of 269. As part of the Oak Hill United School Corporation, which is ranked 95 out of 381 school districts in the state, Oak Hill Junior High School consistently outperforms its peers in academic performance and statewide rankings.

The school's academic excellence is evident in its ILEARN test scores, which exceed the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Math. In the 2023-2024 school year, 52.23% of students were proficient or better in ELA, and 38.39% in Math, compared to the district's 43.06% and 45.61%, respectively. This strong academic performance has earned Oak Hill Junior High School a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking in the top 20% of Indiana middle schools, placing 98 out of 485 in the 2023-2024 school year. When compared to nearby schools like Bon Air Middle School and Virtual Preparatory Academy of Indiana at Madison-Grant 6-8, Oak Hill Junior High School stands out as a high-performing institution.

While Oak Hill Junior High School has a predominantly White student population, with 87.73% of students identifying as such, the school serves a diverse socioeconomic community, with 39.38% to 44.32% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. The school's increased spending per student, from $7,585 in 2020-2021 to $9,226 in 2021-2022, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.9 to 16.8, may have contributed to its academic success. However, the school's fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.1% to 17.0% in recent years, is an area that the school may want to monitor and address to ensure continued student achievement.

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.
