Summary:
Scipio, Indiana has one school in this data set: Scipio Elementary School, a K–6 elementary serving 252 students in Jennings County School Corporation; the area shows no middle, high, or alternative schools, so the city’s school story is entirely elementary. The school has been improving in the state ranking, moving from 463 of 1011 in 2023–2024 to 374 of 1005 in 2024–2025 and 298 of 1015 in 2025–2026, which places it at the 71st percentile with 4 stars. Its district, by comparison, is ranked 172 of 374, at the 54th percentile with 3 stars.
Math is Scipio Elementary’s clearest strength. All-grade math proficiency is 65.79%, compared with 42.27% in the district, and every tested grade is above both district and state: 3rd grade 68.42%, 4th grade 72.97%, 5th grade 86.67%, and 6th grade 44.68%. The 5th grade math result is 44.67 points above the state’s 42%. English Language Arts is solid overall at 46.71%, above the district’s 34.24%, with grades 3–5 above district and state, but 6th grade ELA is weaker at 31.91%, below the state’s 41.3%. Science is split: 4th grade is strong at 56.76%, above district 45.63% and state 43.8%, while 6th grade is low at 25.53%, below district 30.46% and state 41.2%. Fifth grade social studies improved from 25.53% to 50%, above district 43.39% and state 47.2%.
Other important parent-facing numbers: chronic absenteeism is 11.6%, well below the district’s 18.6% and the state’s 16.7%, a meaningful strength given that 60.71% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. The student-teacher ratio is 13.7, and per-student spending is $14,079. Overall, Scipio Elementary outperforms its district in all-grade ELA, math, and science, and its latest rank is higher than its district’s standing. Because it is a small school with 252 students, grade-level percentages can swing from one cohort to the next, so those year-to-year changes should be read with that caveat in mind.
