Elementary Schools in Decatur County Community Schools

Summary:

The Decatur County Community Schools district in Indiana is home to two elementary schools: North Decatur Elementary School and South Decatur Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade in the Decatur County area.

Based on the available data, North Decatur Elementary School appears to be the standout performer in the district. The school has consistently ranked higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, with a ranking of 163 out of 1,005 Indiana elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, compared to South Decatur's ranking of 488. Additionally, North Decatur Elementary School outperforms South Decatur Elementary School and the overall district in proficiency rates across various ILEARN assessments, including English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies.

While both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, the data suggests potential equity concerns within the district. The significant difference in free and reduced-price lunch rates between the two schools (48.12% at North Decatur vs. 62.33% at South Decatur) indicates that South Decatur Elementary School serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This disparity warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students in the Decatur County Community Schools district.
