Summary:
The Lebanon Community School Corp district in Indiana is home to 4 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance among these schools, with Central Elementary School consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, while other schools in the district struggle to meet state and district averages.
Central Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies across all grade levels. Over 60% of its students are proficient in Math, and over 50% are proficient in English Language Arts, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. In contrast, Hattie B Stokes Elementary School lags behind, with lower academic proficiency rates across the board.
The data also reveals differences in school funding and student demographics. Hattie B Stokes Elementary has the highest spending per student at $14,420, yet its academic performance remains the lowest in the district. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Additionally, the schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Hattie B Stokes Elementary, tend to have lower academic proficiency rates, indicating a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and student achievement. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with all four schools reporting the same high rate of 17.8%.
