Summary

S Ellen Jones Elementary School is a PK–4 school in New Albany, IN, serving 243 students as part of the New Albany-Floyd County Con School district. It ranks 722 of 1,015 in 2025–2026 (29th percentile, 1 star), while the district ranks 102 of 374 (73rd percentile, 4 stars). About 59.67% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, down from 80.29% in 2022–2023. Chronic absenteeism is 30.0%, nearly double the district’s 16.3% and state’s 16.7%, but down from 46.6% in 2020–2021. Resources are favorable: $15,771 per student (2023–2024) and an 11.8 student-teacher ratio (2024–2025). In 2025–2026, proficiency was 38.71% in English language arts (ELA), 29.03% in math, and 17.86% in science, versus district rates of 51.72%, 50.05%, and 45.47%.

Compared with same-district neighbors, S Ellen Jones is the lowest-ranked, with Fairmont at the 50th percentile and Floyds Knobs at the 95th. ELA is relatively competitive—higher than Mount Tabor (36.09%), Northaven (32.35%), and Franklin Square (15.74%). But math is 29.03%, far below every same-district peer (next lowest Green Valley at 52.12%), and science is 17.86%, the lowest among same-district peers. Similar-demographic peers outperform: Fairmont (59.28% free/reduced lunch) and Green Valley (63.61% free/reduced lunch) rank around the 50th percentile with much higher math and science. Clarksville Elementary spends $7,449 per student and has an 18.6 ratio, yet has higher math (49.52%) and science (43.82%).

Grade-level results show 4th-grade ELA at 46.43%, above the state 4th-grade average of 42.2%, while 3rd-grade ELA is 32.35%, below the state’s 40.8%. Math is weak in both grades: 23.53% in 3rd and 35.71% in 4th, far below state averages. Science, tested only in 4th grade, is 17.86% versus the state’s 43.8%. Historically, the school has never exceeded the 32nd percentile, though 2025–2026 improved from 879/1,005 (13th percentile) in 2024–2025. ELA rose from 22.86% to 38.71% and math from 19.18% to 29.03%; science stayed flat at 17.5% to 17.86%. Overall, this is a small, well-resourced school serving a high-poverty population; ELA is a relative strength, but math and science are critical weaknesses, and continued absenteeism reduction plus targeted math/science support appear important.
