Summary

Southwest Elementary School is a K–5 school serving about 550 students in Greenwood, Indiana, part of the Greenwood Community School Corp, which ranks 92nd of 374 Indiana districts (75th percentile, 4 stars) even though Southwest Elementary School itself ranks 388th of 1,015 schools (62nd percentile, 3 stars), placing it below its own district's overall standing. The school's rank has slid over time, from the 78th percentile in 2017–18 and 73rd in 2022–23 down to 58th in 2024–25, with a small rebound to 62nd in 2025–26. It has moved from a top-quartile school to a solidly above-average one.

Math is the school's academic anchor. All-grade Math proficiency is 52.76%, above the district's 45.97%, and Southwest has beaten the district in Math in each of the last four tested years; 3rd grade Math (59.72%) and 4th grade Math (59.60%) are strong, though 5th grade Math (38.55%) trails both district and state. ELA is the clearest concern: 43.92% all-grade versus the district's 50.22%, below the district every recent year, with 4th grade ELA at 37.00% against district 46.23% and state 42.20%. Third grade ELA is a bright spot at 55.56%. Science (44.44%) sits below the district (48.85%) but slightly above the state at the tested grade.

Chronic absenteeism of 10.3% is genuinely strong — better than the district (11.7%) and state (16.7%) — and free/reduced lunch (49.82%) is moderate, so results aren't explained by unusual poverty. Per-student spending of $9,687 is relatively low, and the 16.6 student/teacher ratio is the largest among its district peers. Comparisons stand out: North Grove Elementary School has similar poverty (43.80%), lower spending ($9,280), similar absenteeism, and much higher proficiency (ELA 67.50%, Math 66.94%). Westwood Elementary School outperforms Southwest across all subjects, and Greenwood Northeast Elementary School does too despite far higher poverty (74.55% FRL). Southwest's path forward likely runs through targeted ELA and Science improvement while protecting its Math strength and attendance culture.
