Elementary Schools in South Dearborn Community School Corp

Summary:

The South Dearborn Community School Corp district in Indiana is home to three elementary schools: Aurora Elementary School, Dillsboro Elementary School, and Manchester Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the South Dearborn community.

Among the three schools, Dillsboro Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking between 170-235 out of over 1,000 Indiana elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Dillsboro's students significantly outperform the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels. Manchester Elementary School also performs well, with above-average test scores in several areas, while Aurora Elementary School lags behind the other two schools and the district averages.

The data also reveals some areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% across all three schools, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, there are disparities in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.26% at Manchester Elementary School to 56.61% at Aurora Elementary School, suggesting potential equity challenges within the district.
