Summary

Rushville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 631 students in grades PK-6 in Rushville, Indiana. The school is part of the Rush County Schools district, which is ranked 194 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rushville Elementary School faces several challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 14.2% in 2021-2022 to 18.3% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores are also generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 22.87% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts and 24.63% proficient or better in math, compared to 30.39% and 33.33% for the district, respectively. Additionally, Rushville Elementary School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.49% to 63.39% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Eastern Hancock Elementary School and Milroy Elementary School, both within the same district, Rushville Elementary School appears to be underperforming, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the school has significant room for improvement, particularly in addressing the underlying factors that may be contributing to its declining performance, such as attendance and resource allocation.
