Summary

Sugar Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school in Terre Haute, Indiana, serving 378 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Vigo County School Corporation. While the school consistently outperforms the district and state averages on ILEARN tests, it faces concerning challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Sugar Grove Elementary School's academic performance is a bright spot, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies exceeding the Vigo County School Corporation and the state of Indiana. However, the school lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Dixie Bee Elementary and Lost Creek Elementary, which consistently rank higher in the state's school rankings and have significantly higher proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels.

The sharp increase in chronic absenteeism at Sugar Grove Elementary School, from 19.2% in 2022-2023 to 34% in 2023-2024, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and intervention. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 80.69% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, which may contribute to the school's challenges and should be considered when developing strategies to support student success.
