Summary

Turkey Run Elementary School is a small, rural PK–5 school at 1551 E SR 47 in Marshall, Indiana (Parke County), serving 248 students as one of two elementaries in the North Central Parke Community School Corp, a district that ranks in the top third of Indiana.

Attendance here is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism was 10.3% in 2024–25, below both the district (14.0%) and the state (16.7%), and it has beaten both every year since 2020–21. Class sizes are very small (10.6 students per teacher), while per-pupil spending of $10,550 (2023–24) is the lowest in the local peer group, down about 22% from the prior year. Academically, results are sharply split. Third grade is the strongest in the entire local comparison group — 52.94% proficient in ELA and 67.65% in math, both well above the state. But 4th and 5th grades fall 15–20 points below the state in ELA and math. Overall, the school's state rank has slipped from the 78th percentile (4 stars) in 2020‑21 to the 41st percentile (2 stars) in 2025‑26. Grade sizes are tiny (roughly 31–34 students), so single-year results swing easily.

The most instructive comparison is same-district Rockville Elementary School, 7.8 miles away: similar poverty (60.6% vs. 62.1%) and class size, but it spends about $1,500 more per student, ranks 60th percentile (3 stars), and is improving — its strength sits in 4th and 5th grade, exactly where Turkey Run is weak. Among ten nearby elementaries, Turkey Run ranks 7th, ahead of Central Elementary School, Montezuma Elementary School and North Vermillion Elementary School, but behind New Market Elementary School, Lester B Sommer Elementary School, Rockville, Mollie B Hoover Elementary School and Southeast Fountain Elementary. Science remains a relative bright spot.
