Summary:
The Perry Township Schools district in Indiana operates 15 elementary schools serving grades PK-5, with some schools also offering kindergarten programs. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with significant disparities in academic achievement across the district.
The top-performing schools in the district are Douglas MacArthur Elementary School and Glenns Valley Elementary School, both of which consistently exceed district and state averages on ILEARN test scores. These schools also have the highest proficiency rates in the district, with William Henry Burkhart Elementary also demonstrating solid academic results. In contrast, several schools have much lower proficiency rates, indicating a need for additional support and resources to address the achievement gaps.
A concerning trend across the district is the high rate of chronic absenteeism, which stands at 17.8% for all schools. Additionally, many schools have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.97% to 88.26%, suggesting a strong link between poverty and educational outcomes. The data also shows that schools with higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios tend to perform better academically, highlighting the importance of adequate funding and resources for student success.
