Summary:

The Bartholomew Con School Corp district in Indiana consists of 16 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district's academic performance is mixed, with some standout schools but also several underperforming institutions.

The top-performing schools in the district are CSA Lincoln Campus, which ranks 45th out of 1,005 Indiana elementary schools and has a 5-star rating, and Southside Elementary School, which ranks 125th and has a 4-star rating. These schools significantly outperform the district and state averages in proficiency rates across all grade levels and subjects. In contrast, several lower-performing elementary schools, such as Lillian Schmitt, Taylorsville, and Mount Healthy, have proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.

The district's graduation rates at both Columbus North High School and Columbus East High School are 88.4%, which is on par with the state average. However, the district as a whole struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which may be a contributing factor to the overall academic performance. The district's spending per student also varies significantly, from $11,130 at W.D. Richards Elementary to $25,727 at Richard L. Johnson Early Education Center.
