Summary:
The South Dearborn Community School Corp district in Indiana serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 171 out of 380 in Indiana and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Dillsboro Elementary School stands out as the highest performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Indiana elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Dillsboro has significantly higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages across core subjects. Another standout is Manchester Elementary School, which has shown strong academic performance, particularly in Math. In contrast, South Dearborn Middle School struggled the most, with only 21.8% of students proficient or better in Math.
The data also reveals areas of concern, such as the consistently high 17.8% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools and the lower proficiency rates at South Dearborn High School compared to the district average. The district should examine how resources are allocated and utilized to maximize their impact on student learning, as spending per student varied significantly without a clear correlation to academic outcomes.
