Summary

Argos Community Elementary is a PK–5 school in Argos, Indiana, serving 319 students in a small-town community where 56.11% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024-2025. It belongs to Argos Community Schools, a district ranked 235th of 374 in Indiana (37th percentile, 2 stars); the school ranked 567th of 1,015 in 2025-2026 (44th percentile, 2 stars). Argos was a 4-star school in 2015-2016, 2018-2019, and 2021-2022, then slipped to 3 stars and now 2 stars, though 2025-2026 was slightly better than the prior two years.

Academically, Argos is stronger in math and social studies than in English language arts (ELA). In 2025-2026, all-grade ELA was 27.7%, the second-lowest nearby and far below the nearby median of about 39.6%. Third- and fourth-grade ELA were especially low at 23.08% and 25.86%, versus state rates of 40.8% and 42.2%. All-grade math was 44.22%, below the nearby median of about 51.3% but well above the district’s 36.46%; fourth-grade math was 50.88%, near the state’s 52%, and fifth-grade math was 45.1%, above the state’s 42%. Fifth-grade social studies was 52.94%, above the state’s 47.2% and nearby median of 42.67%; science was 43.1%, near the state’s 43.8%.

Compared with nearby schools, Triton Elementary School outperformed Argos in ELA, math, science, and fifth-grade social studies; it also had lower chronic absenteeism (7.7% vs. 11.3%) and higher per-student spending ($10,104 vs. $8,503). Bremen Elementary/Middle School had slightly higher ELA and math, but Argos had higher science and fifth-grade social studies. Argos also outperformed Washington Discovery Academy in ELA, math, and science while spending less and serving a higher free/reduced lunch rate. Argos’s chronic absenteeism improved to 11.3%, below the state’s 16.7% but above the nearby median of 10.6%. Its per-student spending of $8,503 is the lowest in the comparison group. Because Argos is small, grade-level swings may reflect cohort differences. The bottom line: a small, locally typical-poverty school with weak early literacy and relative strengths in math and social studies.
