Summary:
The Whitko Community School Corp district in Indiana is home to two elementary schools: Pierceton Elementary School and South Whitley Elementary School. While both schools serve students in the same district, the data reveals significant differences in their academic performance and other key metrics.
Based on the information provided, South Whitley Elementary School stands out as the higher-performing school in the district. It consistently outperforms Pierceton Elementary School and the overall Whitko Community School Corp district on ILEARN assessments, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in subjects like English Language Arts and Math. South Whitley also has a higher statewide ranking and maintains a 3-4 star rating from SchoolDigger, while Pierceton is rated 1 star.
Additionally, South Whitley Elementary has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to Pierceton, and its student population is more homogeneous, with a higher percentage of white students. The per-student spending is also slightly higher at South Whitley, which may be a contributing factor to its better performance. However, the Whitko Community School Corp district as a whole is performing below the state average on ILEARN assessments, suggesting that there may be systemic challenges or areas for improvement across the district that need to be addressed.
