Summary:
The Fayette County School Corporation in Indiana serves roughly 3,103 students across seven schools — five elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district as a whole ranks 191 of 374 districts in the state, placing it in the 49th percentile with a 2-star rating, but results vary widely from building to building. About 57% of students attend an elementary school, 14% attend the middle school, and 29% attend the high school.
Fayette Central Elementary is the district's clear academic standout, ranking 250 of 1,015 elementary schools (75th percentile, 4 stars) and leading all elementary schools in ELA (45.21%), math (65.43%), and science (50.51%), with 4th grade math at 79.17%. Connersville Middle School improved the most, rising from the 35th percentile to the 67th percentile and 3 stars, with strong ELA (48.21%) even though math lags at 32.94%. Everton Elementary has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 10.2%, but its achievement is uneven — 3rd grade ELA is just 9.68%. Grandview Elementary is a puzzle: math is above district at 50.64%, yet chronic absenteeism is 50.1%, about three times the state rate, and it has the lowest per-student spending ($8,775) and the highest student-teacher ratio (19.8).
At the other end, Frazee Elementary is the lowest-ranked school at 751 of 1,015 (26th percentile, 1 star), below district levels in ELA (22.84%), math (33.95%), and science (26.03%). Connersville Senior High School graduates 92.8% of students, above the state's 89.7%, but SAT ERW (45%) and SAT Math (16.67%) trail the state, and its rank has slid from the 63rd percentile to the 36th. District-wide chronic absenteeism is 24.7%, above the state's 16.7%, with the middle school (24.1%) and high school (23.6%) also above the state mark. Eastview Elementary is improving from a low base, now at the 43rd percentile. Overall: one strong elementary performer, one promising middle-school turnaround, and real work ahead in early reading, high school math readiness, and attendance.
