Summary

Slate Run Elementary School is a PK–4 elementary school serving 405 students in New Albany, Indiana, part of the New Albany-Floyd County Con School district. The district overall is relatively strong, ranked 102nd of 374 Indiana districts (73rd percentile, 4 stars), while Slate Run itself ranked 448th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 56th percentile with 3 stars, down from the 72nd–73rd percentile and 4 stars in the two prior years.

Math is Slate Run's most dependable academic strength. In 2025–2026, 53.66% of students were proficient in math, above the district's 50.05%, and math has topped the district for at least four reported years. Fourth-grade math is especially solid at 63.86%, above both the district (63.33%) and state (52%). English/language arts is the clearest gap: 41.46% proficiency versus the district's 51.72%, and science also trails the district (39.76% vs. 45.47%). Third grade stands out as a weak spot — 33.33% in ELA and 43.21% in math, both below district and state — while fourth grade is comparatively strong. Nearby Grant Line Elementary School shows much higher third-grade results of 59.52% in ELA and 79.76% in math.

Attendance is Slate Run's standout non-academic success. Chronic absenteeism fell from 27.5% in 2023–2024 to 13.3% in 2024–2025, below both the district (16.3%) and state (16.7%) and far better than same-district peers such as Green Valley Elementary School (30.2%), S Ellen Jones Elementary School (30.0%), and Mount Tabor Elementary School (25.4%). With 49.63% of students receiving free or reduced lunch and per-student spending of $11,643, the school's resources are moderate for the area. Slate Run places second among its same-district neighbors behind Grant Line, and its much lower absenteeism could support future academic improvement.
