Summary:

The city of Bainbridge, Indiana has only one school, Bainbridge Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the North Putnam Community Schools district. While the school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, its academic performance has been somewhat mixed, with strengths in 4th grade science and 5th grade social studies, but below-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts across all grades.

Bainbridge Elementary School's math performance is more variable, with 3rd and 4th grade math proficiency below the district and state averages, but all grades math above the district in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's spending per student is relatively high at $9,990, and it has a manageable student-teacher ratio of 16.6, which may contribute to its academic outcomes. However, the school serves a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a relatively affluent student population.

Overall, Bainbridge Elementary School appears to be a solidly performing school, but with some areas for improvement, particularly in English Language Arts. The school's academic performance, funding, and student demographics suggest it may have the resources and support to address these challenges and continue to provide a quality education for the students of Bainbridge, Indiana.
