Elementary Schools in Bartholomew Con School Corp

Summary:

The Bartholomew Con School Corp district in Indiana contains 12 elementary schools serving grades PK-6, with a range of 83 to 893 students per school. The district as a whole is ranked 160 out of 380 in Indiana and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district. CSA Lincoln Campus ranks 45th out of 1,005 Indiana elementary schools and is rated 5 out of 5 stars, with exceptional test scores well above the district and state averages. Rockcreek Elementary School and Southside Elementary School are also high-performing, ranking 220th and 125th respectively and earning 4 out of 5 stars.

However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and lower-performing schools in the district, such as Lillian Schmitt Elementary School, Clifty Creek Elementary School, Taylorsville Elementary School, and Mount Healthy Elementary School. The district also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and student performance.
