The Indiana Dept. of Education has released its latest list of Four-Star schools, and a vast majority of Hamilton Southeastern buildings made the cut to receive the designation for the 2014-15 school year.
Both district high schools and 15 schools overall received the designation, which requires public schools to place in the top 25th percentile of schools in language arts and math testing.
“We have 15 schools that have been designated four-star schools. That’s the most for any public school corporation in the state,” HSE Supt. Dr. Allen Bourff said. “We’re very pleased with that. I think this might be the most we’ve ever had.”
Just 20 of the district’s 21 schools were eligible for the designation this year, as Fall Creek Junior High didn’t open until this past school year.
The HSE schools receiving Four-Star designation from the Indiana Dept. of Education for 2014-15 include:
- Brooks School Elementary
- Durbin Elementary
- Fall Creek Elementary
- Fall Creek Intermediate
- Fishers High School
- Fishers Junior High
- Geist Elementary
- Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate and Junior High
- Hamilton Southeastern High School
- Hoosier Road Elementary
- Lantern Road Elementary
- New Britton Elementary
- Riverside Intermediate
- Riverside Junior High
- Thorpe Creek Elementary
