Posted October 21, 2011

now it great to hear from all the parents of kids who attended this school , but i must say as a student who now has his diploma i have accomplished many great things as a result of my time there. as a freshman i started out at lawrence north which sorry i loved the school for bad reasons and the school is not good for anything but sports. however needless to say i didnt last a year there and my sophmore year i again met the same people at irvington community high school drugs , fighting and misc. trouble. Hope Academy definatley shined that light i needed for success. the teachers are very calm and work more with students individually then just a class. I am happy to say i finished my junior year there and went on to graduate agains all odds and low credits. THIS SCHOOL IS PHENOMINAL!~!! -Bural Codozor

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Indiana used the End-of-Course (ECA) assessment to test students in middle and high school in Algebra I, Biology I, and English 10. The ECA is a criterion-referenced assessment developed specifically for students completing their instruction in Algebra I, Biology I, or English 10. The goal is for all students to score at the passing level on the test.

About the tests


Indiana uses the A through F School Grading System to assess the overall performance of a school. For the 2011-2012 school year, schools were graded based on performance and participation levels in state standardized tests and student growth using the Indiana Growth Model. In addition, high schools were graded on four-year (on-time) graduation rates and college and career readiness indicators including Advanced Placment exam results and industry certification exam results.

Rating legend

Average
Above
average

Our rating (from 1 to 10) reflects a school's overall performance. The higher the rating, the more likely the school will prepare your child for the future, so choose an above-average school (8-10) if possible. For average schools (4-7), do careful research and look for evidence that the school has high-quality programs. For below-average schools (1-3), take caution; a low-performing school may not provide the instruction or environment your child needs to learn, and you may need to supplement classroom lessons at home.

Academic rating

The academic rating is made up of equally-weighted parts: students' test scores, their academic growth (for elementary and middle schools) and their readiness for college (for high schools). The graphs below compare this school's results in each area to other schools in the city and state. Growth and college readiness ratings are coming soon, pending publication of 2012 data.
