Summary
Taylorsville Elementary School is a PK–6 public school in Taylorsville, Indiana, serving 580 students as part of Bartholomew Con School Corp, a district ranked 162nd of 374 in Indiana. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 791st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 22nd percentile, with 1 star — and it serves a high-poverty population: 62.76% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Per-student spending was $13,067 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 16.4 in 2024–2025.
Academics are the school's clearest challenge. All-grade proficiency in 2025–2026 was 26.88% in English language arts, 26.88% in math, and 18.34% in science, compared with district averages of 41.76%, 42.98%, and 38.17% — roughly 15 points below the district in ELA, 16 points in math, and 20 points in science. Among nearby schools, Taylorsville has the lowest all-grade math and science proficiency in the comparison group, and its ELA result is second lowest behind East Side Elementary School (24.55%). High-performing neighbors are far above: CSA Lincoln Campus scored 74.4% ELA, 74.88% math, and 57.69% science; Southside Elementary School scored 59.5%, 67.22%, and 61.09%; and Parkside Elementary School scored 48.38%, 53.62%, and 46.02%.
Chronic absenteeism is a relative strength: 13.3% in 2024–2025, better than the district (15.9%) and state (16.7%), and better than Clifty Creek Elementary School (18.2%), Lillian Schmitt Elementary School (20.4%), and East Side (29.8%) — though still behind Southside (7.9%), CSA Lincoln (6.7%), and Parkside (8.5%). Grade-level results show the sharpest gaps in 6th grade math (15.73%) and 6th grade science (12.36%), both far below district and state. Fifth grade is a modest bright spot, with ELA and social studies each reaching 33.8%. Poverty alone does not explain the results: Clifty Creek, Lillian Schmitt, and L F Smith Elementary serve similar populations yet post higher math and science proficiency. Parkside, at 42.02% free/reduced lunch, may be the most practical peer to study. Spending rose from $10,278 in 2020–2021 to $13,067 in 2023–2024 without matching achievement gains.
