Summary:
Taylor Community School Corp is a three-school district in Kokomo, Indiana serving roughly 1,205 students from prekindergarten through 12th grade, ranked 290th of 374 Indiana districts (22nd percentile) with an overall one-star rating. Taylor Elementary School is the largest, with 494 students in grades PK–4; Taylor Middle School enrolls 368 students in grades 5–8; and Taylor High School has 343 students in grades 9–12.
Comparing the three, state percentile rises with grade level — elementary 13th, middle 24th, high 39th — but their subject strengths are mirror images of each other. Taylor Elementary's all-grades math proficiency (27.37%) beats the district's 18.44%, while its ELA (14.53%) trails the district's 24.6%. Taylor Middle School is the exact opposite, posting the district's best ELA (30.22%) alongside its lowest math (13.44%). Taylor High School is the only school rated two stars and the only one above the 30th percentile, though its SAT math proficiency is just 8.11%, far below the state's 25.6%.
The clearest weakness is middle school math: 7th and 8th grade proficiency sit under 10% (9.89% and 9.88%) against state rates in the mid-30s, even though that school has the district's smallest classes at 13.7 students per teacher. Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide condition, running 24.5% at the elementary, 26.2% at the middle school, and 35.1% at the high school, all well above the state's 16.7%. Across the district, 7 of 9 subject metrics declined year over year — the high school's SAT math fell 12.4 points, while its Biology results rose 7.9 points to 47.42% — and the elementary school's percentile has dropped for three straight years.
