Summary

Jac-Cen-Del Elementary School is a PK–6 school in Osgood, IN, serving 421 students as part of the Jac-Cen-Del Community School Corp. In 2025–26, it ranked 620 of 1,015 Indiana schools—39th percentile with 2 stars. That is a notable drop from its history: it was an 85th-percentile, 4-star school in 2016–17 and a 73rd-percentile, 4-star school in 2017–18, and after hovering in the 46th–55th percentile range, it reached 55th percentile and 3 stars in 2024–25 before falling back to 39th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26.

Academically, the school’s 2025–26 All Grades proficiency is 34.1% in ELA, 39.9% in Math, and 27.3% in Science. The most striking pattern is grade level: 3rd grade is a bright spot, with ELA at 53.57% and Math at 63.64%, both above state averages. But grades 4–6 fall below the state in most subjects, including 6th grade ELA at 18% (state 41.3%) and 4th grade Science at 22.92% (state 43.8%). Science is the clearest weakness—the lowest among nearby schools with reported science scores. Math and Science also dropped sharply from 2024–25 to 2025–26—Math from 48.53% to 39.9%, Science from 48.48% to 27.27%—while ELA stayed roughly flat.

Compared with nearby schools, Jac-Cen-Del’s results are near the bottom of its local group despite similar or better resources than some higher performers. South Ripley Elementary School is only 6.5 miles away, serves PK–6, has a similar free/reduced lunch rate, and spends less per student, yet scores 58.0% ELA, 62.6% Math, and 54.5% Science. Dillsboro Elementary School has similar demographics and staffing but reaches 55.7% ELA, 63.5% Math, and 68.8% Science. Jac-Cen-Del’s chronic absenteeism of 8.5% is better than the state’s 16.7%, but higher than South Ripley’s 4.6% and Dillsboro’s 4.0%. The school’s spending is $12,367 per student, and its student-teacher ratio is 14.5. Overall, the data suggest that school-level instructional and curricular factors likely matter, especially in upper elementary and science.
