Summary

Argos Community Elementary is a public elementary school serving 350 students in grades PK-5 in Argos, Indiana, which is part of the Argos Community Schools district.

While the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50% to 59.78% in recent years, its academic performance has been a concern. Argos Community Elementary's proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts, Math, and Science are consistently lower than the state averages across all grades. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rate in ILEARN English Language Arts for all grades was 31.13%, compared to the state average of 40.3-41.4%. The school also has higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.6% to 19.2% in recent years, which may be contributing to its lower academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Bremen Elementary/Middle School, Culver Elementary School, and schools in the Plymouth Community School Corporation, Argos Community Elementary's test scores and performance metrics are generally lower. For instance, in 2024-2025, Culver Elementary School had a proficiency rate of 51.22% in ILEARN English Language Arts, compared to Argos Community Elementary's 31.13%. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 261 out of 1,031 Indiana elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 587 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state.
