Summary

Shawswick Elementary School in Bedford, IN is a K–6 school serving 507 students as part of North Lawrence Com Schools. In 2025–26, the school ranked 703rd of 1,015 Indiana schools (31st percentile, 2 stars), below its district’s 52nd percentile, 3-star standing. All-grade proficiency was 24.11% in ELA, 35.34% in math, 35.25% in science, and 11.48% in 5th-grade social studies—below the district in every subject. Chronic absenteeism was 14.1%, better than the state’s 16.7% but above the district’s 12.0%. Per-student spending was $10,737 in 2023–24, and the student–teacher ratio was 15.6.

Compared with nearby schools, Needmore Elementary School and Parkview Elementary School serve similar or higher free/reduced-price lunch rates but post much higher results: Needmore is 57th percentile/3 stars with 37.23% ELA, 45.26% math, and 55.56% 5th-grade social studies; Parkview is 83rd percentile/4 stars with 48.30% ELA, 63.50% math, and 64.06% social studies. Lakeview Elementary School (78th percentile, 4 stars) and Springville Community Academy (53rd percentile, 3 stars) also outperform the school. Medora STEM Academy (9th percentile, 0 stars) is lower. Lawrence County Independent Schools and Burris Elementary School are closer in rank. The school has the lowest per-student spending and highest student–teacher ratio among these nearby schools.

The biggest red flags are the 5th-grade results and a multi-year decline. The school fell from 75th percentile/4 stars in 2015–16 to 31st percentile/2 stars in 2025–26. In 5th grade, ELA was 12.70% (district 25.22%, state 42.20%), math was 4.69% (district 22.61%, state 42.00%), and social studies was 11.48% (district 34.80%, state 47.20%). 5th-grade social studies dropped from 45.61% in 2022–23. Math is mixed: 3rd-grade math was 51.25%, near the state’s 51.90%, but 4th-grade math was 43.24% versus 52.00% statewide. The clearest positives are improved absenteeism and 3rd-grade math.
