Summary:
The Medora Community School Corp district in Indiana has one elementary school, Medora STEM Academy, serving grades PK-5. The district is ranked 255 out of 380 districts in the state and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Medora STEM Academy has an enrollment of 100 students and faces some significant challenges in terms of academic performance. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates for 3rd and 5th grades are significantly lower than the state averages, while its math proficiency rates are closer to or even exceed the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.3 to 1 may be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students.
Despite the academic challenges, Medora STEM Academy serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 59% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's spending per student of $11,463 is higher than the state average, but it's unclear if this additional funding is translating into improved academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Medora STEM Academy faces a complex set of challenges, but also has some potential strengths that could be leveraged to improve student performance.
