Summary

Lodge Community School is an elementary school located in Evansville, Indiana, serving 431 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation, which is ranked 246 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and small class sizes, Lodge Community School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Indiana elementary schools, with proficiency rates in ILEARN assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance has been consistently poor, with no significant improvement over the past several years. Additionally, Lodge Community School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 17.8% to 22.8% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district average. The school also serves a high-poverty student population, with 72.35% to 84.55% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Comparing Lodge Community School to nearby schools in the same district, such as Hebron Elementary, Delaware Elementary, and Dexter Elementary, highlights the disparities in student outcomes. These nearby schools generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students from low-income families. Despite the relatively high resources available to Lodge Community School, the lack of improvement in its academic performance suggests a need for a more comprehensive and effective school improvement plan.
