Summary

Austin Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Austin, Indiana, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 581 students. The school is part of the Scott County School District 1, which is ranked 284 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Austin Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and economic disadvantage among its student population. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (29.24%), Math (24.91%), Science (37.63%), and Social Studies (27.96%) for the 2024-2025 school year were all lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 24.8% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. This is a key area of concern, as high chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Henryville Elementary School and Lexington Elementary School, Austin Elementary School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in core subjects. This suggests that the school may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the underlying factors, such as increasing funding, implementing targeted interventions, and addressing attendance issues, could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students at Austin Elementary School.
