Seymour Community Schools

The Seymour Community Schools district in Indiana consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic/Latino representation ranging from 21% to 68% across the schools.

Among the standout schools in the district are Emerson Elementary School and Cortland Elementary School, which have the highest performance on ILEARN tests, with over 50% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Math. These schools also have the highest SchoolDigger rankings in the district, rated 4 out of 5 stars, and relatively low chronic absenteeism rates. Seymour-Redding Elementary School also stands out with the highest overall ILEARN test scores in the district and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among the elementary schools.

However, the district faces challenges in addressing disparities in educational outcomes, particularly at the lower-performing schools such as Margaret R. Brown Elementary and Seymour-Jackson Elementary. Factors such as student demographics, socioeconomic status, and resource allocation may be contributing to these differences. Addressing attendance issues, especially at the high school level, could also be a key focus area for the Seymour Community Schools district to improve overall student achievement.
