PSAT scores rise for first time in 24 years; enrollment steady, administration reports
Summary
Principal Deb Lewis and Head of School Greg Shugrue reported improved PSAT performance across grades (first increase in 24 years), enrollment steady at 438 with 14 international students, attendance near 94%, and meal/athletics participation counts.
Administration reported academic and operational indicators at the Nov. 20 meeting of the W. L. Gilbert School Corporation.
Principal Deb Lewis said PSAT scores are up for all grades "for the first time in 24 years," noting that eighth‑grade average scores exceed the global average. Lewis also reported that 40% of seniors have applied to two‑ or four‑year colleges as of the meeting date. Visiting educators flagged building and grounds maintenance needs; Lewis said a detailed report with recommendations will be provided by mid‑December.
Head of School Greg P. Shugrue said enrollment is steady at 438 students, including 14 international students, and that attendance is making small improvements, near 94%. He provided food service counts (102 breakfasts and 354 lunches served daily) and said 160 students were enrolled in grades 7–12 athletics with 137 participating. Shugrue also reported a recent lock‑down drill that functioned as intended; parents and local police were notified in advance.
Board members heard these updates as informational items; no formal action was recorded on testing, enrollment or facilities other than a scheduled mid‑December facilities report.
