Summary

Redkey Elementary School is a K–6 public school in Redkey, Indiana, serving 326 students in the Jay School Corporation, a district ranked 147th of 374 Indiana districts (61st percentile, 3 stars). The school’s 2025–26 rank is 503rd of 1,015 elementary schools (50th percentile, 3 stars), a partial recovery from 40th percentile in 2023–24 but still below its 85th percentile in 2015–16.

Two clear strengths are attendance and poverty. Redkey’s 2024–25 chronic absenteeism rate is 7.2%, compared with district 19.0% and state 16.7%. It is lower than East Jay Elementary (14.6%), East Elementary School (13.3%), and West Jay Elementary (16.8%); only Eaton Elementary School (6.2%) is lower nearby. Free/reduced lunch is 37.73%, lower than every nearby school, including East Jay (64.65%), West Jay (72.43%), East Elementary (64.81%), Eaton (64.45%), and Royerton Elementary School (41.28%). Even so, achievement is near the state median rather than above it.

Academically, results are mixed. On 2025–26 ILEARN, all-grade ELA is 35.59% versus district 39.8%, while math is 43.22% versus district 43.01% and science is 40.38% versus 40.22%. 5th-grade social studies is 55.26%, above district 47.95% and state 47.2%. 6th-grade ELA (47.62%) and science (42.86%) are above state, and 6th math (42.86%) is above state but below district (50.47%). Weak spots include 4th-grade ELA (22.58% vs district 33.05% and state 42.2%), 5th-grade math (30.77% vs district 35.51% and state 42%), and 3rd-grade ELA (33.33% vs district 47.85% and state 40.8%). Spending is $10,489 per student, with a 14.5 student–teacher ratio, up from 10.1 in 2023–24. Bottom line: Redkey has exceptional attendance and lower poverty, but median achievement; ELA and 5th-grade math are the clearest areas to watch.
