Shakamak Junior-Senior High School

Summary:

Shakamak Junior-Senior High School is a public high school located in Jasonville, Indiana, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 304 students. The school is part of the Northeast School Corp, which is ranked 169 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shakamak has several strengths, including consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 84.8% to 100% over the past five years, outperforming the state average. However, the school faces some challenges, such as higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to nearby schools like Clay City Junior-Senior High School and Bloomfield High School. Shakamak's academic performance on standardized tests is also mixed, with strong performance in some areas, like 11th-grade English/Language Arts, but struggles in others, particularly in math.

Another area of concern is Shakamak's declining statewide ranking, which has fluctuated over the years, with a high of 29th out of 385 Indiana high schools in 2017-2018 and a low of 290th out of 409 in 2021-2022. Additionally, the school faces potential achievement gaps, with male students consistently outperforming their female counterparts, and white students performing better than their non-white peers. While Shakamak's per-student spending has increased over the years, it is unclear if this has translated into improved student outcomes compared to nearby schools like Linton-Stockton High School.

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.
