Summary:
The city of Gosport, Indiana has only one school, Gosport Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Spencer-Owen Community Schools district. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, its academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in some subjects lagging behind the district and state averages.
Gosport Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, dropping from 471 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 605 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025. This suggests the school is underperforming compared to other elementary schools in the state. The school's academic performance is particularly weak in English Language Arts (ELA) and science, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages across most grade levels. However, the school does perform better than the district and state in 3rd and 5th grade math.
One potential factor contributing to the school's academic challenges is its high-need student population, with 68.46% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This indicates the school serves a predominantly low-income community, which may require additional resources and support to help students succeed. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance indicates this may not be translating into improved outcomes for students.
