Summary

CSA Fodrea Campus is an elementary school in Columbus, Indiana, serving 351 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation district.

While the school receives higher per-student spending compared to the district average, it faces several key challenges. CSA Fodrea Campus has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.0% to 19.2% in recent years, indicating potential issues with student engagement and attendance. Additionally, the school generally underperforms the district and state averages on ILEARN assessments, with only 32.37% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 44.83% proficient in Math, compared to the district's 39.33% and 41.54%, respectively. The school also has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

When comparing CSA Fodrea Campus to other elementary schools in the district, some interesting patterns emerge. Rockcreek Elementary and Southside Elementary consistently outperform CSA Fodrea Campus on test scores, while Clifty Creek Elementary, located closer to CSA Fodrea Campus, also underperforms the district and state averages, suggesting that the challenges faced by CSA Fodrea Campus may be more systemic within the district.
