Summary:
The city of Churubusco, Indiana is home to two schools: Churubusco Junior-Senior High School and Churubusco Elementary School, both part of the Smith-Green Community Schools district. The data reveals that Churubusco Elementary School is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top half of Indiana elementary schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforming the district and state averages in most ILEARN subject areas, particularly in Math.
While Churubusco Junior-Senior High School had a respectable 88.4% four-year graduation rate, its test scores were more mixed, with some subject areas performing above the district average and others below. The high school spent $11,798 per student in 2023-2024, slightly more than the $10,172 spent per student at Churubusco Elementary School. Both schools had a 17.8% chronic absenteeism rate, which is slightly higher than the state average.
The data also reveals a potential socioeconomic difference between the two schools, with Churubusco Elementary School having a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (36.33%) compared to the high school (28.46%). This suggests a greater concentration of economically disadvantaged students at the elementary level, which may be an important factor to consider when analyzing the schools' performance and resource needs.
