Summary

Scipio Elementary School is a K–6 school in the small community of Scipio, Indiana, serving 252 students as part of Jennings County School Corporation — the smallest school in its nearby comparison group, and one that has climbed to 298th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (71st percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26, up from 2 stars and 49th percentile in 2022–23.

Academically, Scipio is one of the strongest schools in its area. In 2025–26, 65.79% of students were proficient in math — second only to nearby Rockcreek Elementary School at 66.67% — and 46.71% in ELA, the highest among all listed nearby schools. Grades 4 and 5 are the standouts: 86.67% of fifth graders were proficient in math and 60% in ELA, both far above district and state rates. Not every grade is as strong, though. Sixth-grade ELA (31.91%) is slightly below the district and well below the state, and sixth-grade science (25.53%) falls below both, making 6th grade the clearest area to watch.

Attendance and resources are other bright spots. Chronic absenteeism fell to 11.6% in 2024–25 — lower than the district and state and the lowest among same-district peers such as Brush Creek Elementary School, Hayden Elementary School, North Vernon Elementary School, and Sand Creek Elementary School. About 60.71% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — a higher-poverty population than Rockcreek, yet with comparable or better ELA results. Class sizes are small (student-teacher ratio 13.7, the lowest nearby) and per-pupil spending ($14,079) the highest in the group. Overall, Scipio outperforms its district's 3-star, 54th-percentile profile.
