Summary

Culver Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 427 students in grades PK-5 in Culver, Indiana. The school is part of the Culver Community Schools Corp district, which is ranked 166 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Culver Elementary consistently outperforms its district and the state of Indiana in ILEARN test scores, with 51.22% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 56.1% proficient or better in Math, compared to 43.47% and 45.15% for the district, and 40.3% and 51.5% for the state, respectively. The school's higher spending per student ($20,345 in 2023-2024) and lower student-teacher ratio (12.9 to 14.3) may contribute to its academic success, as it outperforms nearby schools like Columbia Elementary and George M Riddle Elementary.

However, Culver Elementary has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.8% to 20% over the past few years, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.13% to 63.37%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Overall, Culver Elementary School appears to be providing a quality education to its students, and the school's performance is a positive reflection on the Culver Community Schools Corp district.
