Summary:
The Madison-Grant United School Corp district in Indiana is home to three elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of performance, with Park Elementary School emerging as a standout, Summitville School maintaining a historical ranking, and Virtual Preparatory Academy of Indiana at Madison-Grant K-5 struggling significantly across various metrics.
Park Elementary School stands out with relatively high performance on ILEARN tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Social Studies, as well as a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 3.7%. Summitville School has historically ranked higher statewide and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 12.8% compared to the virtual school. However, the virtual school, Virtual Preparatory Academy of Indiana at Madison-Grant K-5, has a more diverse student population, with 45.71% white, 32.57% African American, and 12% Hispanic students, in contrast to the predominantly white student populations at the other two schools.
The data also reveals stark contrasts in academic performance, with the virtual school consistently underperforming the district and state averages on ILEARN tests. This suggests potential challenges in delivering effective virtual education at the elementary level. Additionally, the virtual school has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 31.5%, which may be a contributing factor to its poor academic performance. The differences in spending per student across the schools, with Summitville School having the highest at $10,378, suggest that higher spending does not necessarily translate to better academic performance.
