Summary:
The city of Jeffersonville, Indiana, is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Greater Clark County Schools district. The data reveals a wide range of performance among these schools, with some standouts like Utica Elementary School and Thomas Jefferson Elementary School performing exceptionally well, while others, like Franklin Square Elementary School, struggle to meet proficiency standards.
Utica Elementary School ranks among the top 20% of elementary schools in the state, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the district and state averages. Thomas Jefferson Elementary School also performs well, ranking in the top 40% of elementary schools in Indiana with above-average proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Franklin Square Elementary has the lowest proficiency rates in the district, with only around 20% of students proficient in core subjects.
The data also reveals challenges across the district, such as consistently high chronic absenteeism rates of around 17.8%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Northaven Elementary, Parkview Middle, and Old Corden Porter School, tend to have the lowest proficiency rates, suggesting a potential correlation between economic disadvantage and academic achievement.
