Summary

Otwell Miller Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-5 in Otwell, Indiana, with a student enrollment of 102. The school is part of the Otwell Miller Academy District, which is ranked 268 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Otwell Miller Academy faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and economic disadvantage among its student population. The school consistently underperforms compared to the state average on ILEARN assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with only 31.37% of students proficient or better in ELA and 25.49% in Math. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 12.7% to 20.4% over the past few years, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.84% to 61.7%. Otwell Miller Academy's performance lags behind that of nearby high-performing schools, such as Barr Reeve Elementary School, Holland Elementary School, and Ireland Elementary School, which consistently outperform Otwell Miller Academy on ILEARN assessments and have much lower chronic absenteeism rates.

Otwell Miller Academy's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 719 out of 1,020 Indiana elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 693 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating decreasing from 1 star to 2 stars. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.2 to 13.4 over the past few years, does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the challenges faced by Otwell Miller Academy will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions to improve student learning, strategies to reduce chronic absenteeism, and efforts to support the economic and social needs of the school community.
