Summary:

The Benton Community School Corp district in Indiana consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Prairie Crossing Elementary and Otterbein Elementary) and 1 junior-senior high school (Benton Central Junior-Senior High School).

Among the district's schools, Otterbein Elementary stands out with the highest overall ILEARN proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, as well as significantly higher 3rd-grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to the district and state averages. Benton Central Junior-Senior High School also performs well, with the highest SAT proficiency rates in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The district faces some challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, and notable differences in spending per student, with the high school receiving significantly more funding than the elementary schools. Additionally, the elementary schools have higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher concentration of economically disadvantaged students at those schools.
