Summary:
The Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation in Indiana operates 11 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The schools vary significantly in size, with student populations ranging from 132 at Madison Elementary to 675 at Horizon Elementary.
Several schools within the district stand out as top performers, including Northpoint Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top 3 elementary schools in the state, and Prairie Vista Elementary, which ranks 6th in the state. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with over 80% of students proficient or better in core subjects. Horizon Elementary is also a top-ranked school, placing in the top 50 elementary schools in Indiana with strong test scores, particularly in Math.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between schools within the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp. For example, Walt Disney Elementary has significantly lower test scores than the district and state averages, with only around 40-50% of students proficient in core subjects. This variation in academic performance appears to be correlated with socioeconomic factors, as the schools with the highest free and reduced lunch rates tend to have the lowest test scores.
