Summary:

The Tipton Community School District has one elementary school, Tipton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 315 students. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger for the 2024-2025 school year.

Tipton Elementary School's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the statewide averages, particularly in Mathematics. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% and a significant population of students from low-income families, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of over 43%. These factors may contribute to the school's inconsistent performance and ranking, which has ranged from 338 out of 565 schools in 2022-2023 to 431 out of 557 schools in 2023-2024.

Despite these challenges, Tipton Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1, which could be an asset in addressing the academic and attendance issues. Improving the school's performance and outcomes for its students will likely require a focus on addressing the factors contributing to the low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and the needs of its socioeconomically disadvantaged population.
