Summary

Deputy Elementary School is a small public school in Deputy, Indiana, serving 138 students in grades PK–4 as part of Madison Consolidated Schools. The school ranked 412th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–26 (59th percentile, 3 stars), a notable drop from its recent past: it was 53rd of 1,020 (95th percentile, 5 stars) in 2021–22 and 58th of 1,011 (94th percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–24. Deputy is also the smallest school in its nearby comparison group, where the average enrollment is roughly 392 students, and it serves only PK–4, while most neighbors serve kindergarten through grade 5 or 6.

Math is Deputy's clear strength. In 2025–26, 63.83% of students were proficient in math, compared with 32.52% in the district and about 45.63% across nearby schools. Among nearby schools, only Graham Creek Elementary School (69.44%) did better. Grade-level math is strong too: 62.96% in 3rd grade and 65.00% in 4th grade. English language arts (ELA) is the main concern. All-grade ELA was 36.17%, below the nearby average of about 40.55%, and 4th grade ELA was just 30.00%. ELA fell from 53.66% in 2024–25 to 36.17% in 2025–26, a 17.49 percentage-point decline. Science dropped from 61.11% to 40.0%, a 21.11 percentage-point decline.

Chronic absenteeism was 20.0% in 2024–25 — better than the district's 30.6%, but worse than the state's 16.7% and the nearby average of about 16.1%. Deputy also has the highest per-student spending in its comparison group at $17,230 (nearby average roughly $11,545) and the highest student-teacher ratio at 19.7 (nearby average about 15.1). Johnson Elementary School is a useful comparison: its free/reduced lunch rate of 65.30% is close to Deputy's 65.94%, yet its ELA proficiency is 52.73%, with a lower ratio (11.2) and lower spending ($12,886). Deputy's priorities are clear: ELA intervention, science support, attendance, and reviewing class sizes.
