Summary:
The Edinburgh Community School Corp district in Indiana has one elementary school, East Side Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 432 students. While this school serves a predominantly White student population, it faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high poverty rates, and potential resource constraints.
East Side Elementary School's academic performance is a major concern, with consistently lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to district and state averages, especially in the upper elementary grades. For example, in 5th grade Math, the school had only 9.09% proficiency, compared to the district and state averages of 9.09% and 40.8%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.2%, which may contribute to the academic struggles.
The socioeconomic challenges faced by East Side Elementary School are also evident, with 75.23% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate may be a factor in the school's academic performance and attendance issues. Furthermore, the school's relatively low spending per student ($8,667) and high student-teacher ratio (14.8) suggest that it may need additional resources and support to address the needs of its student population effectively.
