Summary

Summit Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bloomington, Indiana, serving 614 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Monroe County Community School Corp, which is ranked 110 out of 380 districts in the state.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Summit Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in ILEARN test scores across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (35.83%), Math (39.25%), and Science (40.26%) were significantly lower than the district and state. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 274 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 568 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025, earning it a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Summit Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 21.4% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, other nearby schools, such as Childs Elementary School and The Bloomington Project School, demonstrate stronger academic performance compared to Summit Elementary. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Summit Elementary, ranging from 36.14% to 52.44% in recent years, suggests that the school serves a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. Despite the increased per-student spending at the school, the academic outcomes have not shown significant improvement, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
