South Spencer County School Corp

Summary:

The South Spencer County School Corp district in Indiana serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's schools generally perform well, with several standout institutions like Luce Elementary School and South Spencer Middle School consistently outperforming state and district averages on standardized tests.

Luce Elementary is a particularly impressive school, ranking 98 out of 1,005 Indiana elementary schools in 2024-2025 and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school's ILEARN test scores in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies are well above the district and state averages. South Spencer Middle School also stands out, ranking 93 out of 480 Indiana middle schools and receiving a 4-star rating.

While the district's schools generally perform well, there are a few areas that could use improvement. The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is relatively high, and South Spencer High School has lower test scores, particularly in math, compared to the elementary and middle schools. Additionally, there is significant variation in spending per student, from $9,763 at Rockport-Ohio Elementary to $12,410 at Luce Elementary, which could be an area for further investigation.
