Summary

CSA Fodrea Campus is a PK–6 elementary school in Columbus, Indiana, serving 351 students as part of the Bartholomew Con School Corp. Fodrea is in the middle of a genuine turnaround: its statewide rank climbed from 721st of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools (29th percentile, 1 star) in 2022–2023 to 401st of 1,015 (60th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, one of the steepest upward trends among nearby schools. That places it above W D Richards Elementary School, Clifty Creek Elementary School, L F Smith Elementary, Lillian Schmitt Elementary School, and Taylorsville Elementary School, but below CSA Lincoln Campus, Southside Elementary School, Rockcreek Elementary School, and Parkside Elementary School.

Academically, ELA is Fodrea's clearest strength. In 2025–2026, all-grade ELA proficiency was 46.51%, about 4.75 percentage points above the district, and it exceeded both district and state averages at every tested grade — up sharply from 32.37% the year before. Math came in at 48.26%, about 5.28 points above district, though results are uneven: 5th and 6th grade math top both district and state, while 3rd grade math trails both. Science (38.1%) is essentially even with the district but below state at tested grades, and 5th grade Social Studies (41.3%) is below both. Chronic absenteeism improved to 11.1%, better than the district (15.9%) and state (16.7%), though still higher than CSA Lincoln, Southside, Rockcreek, W D Richards, and Parkside.

About 40.74% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, moderate for the area — higher than CSA Lincoln, Southside, and Rockcreek, but lower than Parkside, W D Richards, Hope Elementary School, and several others. Per-student spending of $11,072 in 2023–2024 is below most nearby schools, so Fodrea is producing mid-to-upper results with comparatively less funding. The main areas still needing work are early-grade math, science, and social studies.
