Summary:
The city of Ashley, Indiana has only one public elementary school, Country Meadow Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Indiana elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Country Meadow Elementary School's academic achievement, as measured by ILEARN assessment proficiency rates, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate was 25.45% compared to the district's 35.34% and the state's 40.3%. The school's highest proficiency rate was in 4th grade Math at 44.74%, but this was still lower than the district's 59.32% and the state's 49.2%. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 43.71% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's low performance, the per-student spending of $11,993 for the 2023-2024 school year is slightly higher than the national average, and the student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is slightly lower than the typical recommended ratio. This suggests that the school has access to adequate resources, but there may be opportunities for more effective allocation or targeted interventions to support student learning and improve academic outcomes.
