Summary:
The city of New Market, Indiana has only one public elementary school, New Market Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the South Montgomery Com School Corp district. While the school's overall performance has fluctuated in recent years, it stands out for its strong math proficiency rates that exceed the district average, but lags behind in English Language Arts and Science.
New Market Elementary School has a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is relatively high and could be impacting academic performance. The school serves a population with greater economic challenges, with over a third of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $11,447, the student-teacher ratio of 16.7 is on the higher end, which could affect the quality of instruction.
Overall, New Market Elementary School appears to have some strengths, particularly in math, but also faces challenges in areas like ELA, science, and chronic absenteeism. Further analysis and comparison to state-level data could provide additional insights to help the school and district identify opportunities for improvement and better support the needs of their students.
