Summary

South Crawford Elementary School in rural Leavenworth, Indiana, is a small PK–5 school serving 145 students and is part of the Crawford County Community School Corp. Its defining story is academic: the school has never reached the state median in ten years of records, and its 2025–2026 result (21st percentile, 1 star) matches its worst showing in that entire span, following a three-year slide from a 36th-percentile peak in 2022–2023.

Achievement is the lowest among its regional peers. In 2025–2026, 23.2% of students were proficient in English/language arts, 31.7% in math, 29.2% in science, and 15.6% in 5th-grade social studies — last or nearly last among eleven nearby schools. The sharpest comparison is inside its own district: East Crawford Elementary School, about ten miles away with larger classes, lower spending and higher absenteeism, posts 53.8% in ELA and 66.0% in math and earns 4 stars, while West Crawford Elementary School beats South Crawford by nearly 17 points in math despite higher poverty. Third-grade reading is a red flag at 11.5%, and the gap to the district has widened to roughly 20 points in math. Because schools in the same small district perform so differently, school-level factors such as staffing and instructional consistency are the most likely levers.

What stands out most is the mismatch between resources and results. Chronic absenteeism has fallen to 8.8% — better than the district and the state, and the best in its district — while the student–teacher ratio of 10.8 is the lowest of any school compared here, and per-pupil spending of $14,298 is among the highest in the group. Poverty is high at 60.0% free/reduced lunch, but lower than at Heth-Washington Elementary School and West Crawford, both of which outperform it in math. Attendance, class size and funding do not explain the shortfall.
