Summary

Lodge Community School is a K–8 school at 2000 Lodge Ave in Evansville, Indiana, serving 510 students as part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. The district itself sits below the middle of Indiana districts (258 of 374, 31st percentile, 2 stars), but Lodge performs far below that: in 2025–2026 it ranked 982 of 1,015 Indiana schools — 3rd percentile, 0 stars — and has landed in the bottom 2–8% in most recent years, with a brief peak at the 14th percentile in 2020–2021.

Academically, Lodge is at or near the bottom of its local group. In 2025–2026, 8.97% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 8.65% in math, and 10.1% in science, compared with district rates of 34.34% in ELA, 34.47% in math, and 32.88% in science. Math is especially weak and declines steeply by grade, from 19.35% in 3rd grade to 2.13% in 8th. Lodge has the lowest math proficiency among nearby schools and the second-lowest ELA rate, above only Glenwood Leadership Academy. Chronic absenteeism was 25.7% in 2024–2025 — the highest among nearby schools and above both the district (21.5%) and state (16.7%). Despite this, Lodge spent $14,407 per student in 2023–2024, more than most nearby schools, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.1.

Notably, Lodge's free/reduced lunch rate (63.53%, down from 84.55% two years earlier) is mid-range locally — lower than Lincoln School, Glenwood Leadership Academy, Delaware Elementary School, Caze Elementary School, and Joshua Academy, all of which outperform it in core subjects. That makes Lodge's results weaker than its poverty level alone would predict. Higher-performing models exist nearby: Vogel Elementary School reaches 42.54% ELA, 43.87% math, and 42.96% science, while Hebron Elementary School and Harper Elementary School also rank well above Lodge.
