Summary:

The South Spencer County School Corp district in Indiana is home to two elementary schools: Rockport-Ohio Elementary School and Luce Elementary School. Based on the available data, Luce Elementary School emerges as the standout performer in the district, consistently outranking Rockport-Ohio Elementary across various metrics.

Luce Elementary School boasts a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and is ranked 98th out of 1,005 Indiana elementary schools, while Rockport-Ohio Elementary is ranked 690th. Luce's students significantly outperform their peers at Rockport-Ohio and the district as a whole in ILEARN test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, 58.9% of Luce's students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 28.87% at Rockport-Ohio and 45.02% for the district. Luce also spends more per student ($12,410) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (10.8) than Rockport-Ohio ($9,763 and 14.2, respectively), which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.

The data reveals a substantial performance gap between the two schools, suggesting that there may be significant differences in the quality of education, resources, or other factors that contribute to the disparities in student outcomes. While the difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the schools (37.36% at Luce vs. 51.25% at Rockport-Ohio) suggests that Luce may serve a more affluent student population, the higher spending per student at Luce indicates that the school may be able to provide more resources and support to its students, regardless of their socioeconomic background. The findings highlight the importance of analyzing school-level data to identify and address areas of concern within the South Spencer County School Corp district.
