Summary

Deputy Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 112 students in grades PK-4 in Deputy, Indiana. The school is part of the Madison Consolidated Schools district, which is ranked 190 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Deputy Elementary School consistently outperforms its district and the state of Indiana in ILEARN test scores, with 53.66% of students proficient or better in ELA and 56.1% proficient or better in math, compared to 41.01% and 37.07% for the district, respectively. The school has maintained a high level of academic performance over the past several years, consistently ranking in the top 15% of Indiana elementary schools. When compared to nearby schools like North Vernon Elementary and Vienna-Finley Elementary, Deputy Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, with significantly higher proficiency rates.

However, Deputy Elementary has had higher chronic absenteeism rates than the state average, ranging from 17.8% to 37.5% over the past few years. This is an area of concern that the school should address. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.07% to 71.43% over the past few years, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, Deputy Elementary spends significantly more per student than the state average, which may contribute to the school's strong academic performance.
