Summary

Scottsburg Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Scottsburg, Indiana, with an enrollment of 467 students. The school is part of the Scott County School District 2, which is ranked 131 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Scottsburg Elementary School has some areas of concern, such as consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.8% to 21.5% over the past few years, significantly lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (67.99% to 73.2%), it is important to note that these challenges are not unique to this school. When comparing Scottsburg Elementary to nearby schools, such as Lexington Elementary School, which is part of the same district, it becomes clear that Scottsburg Elementary is underperforming in several key areas.

The data suggests that Scottsburg Elementary School could benefit from a closer examination of the factors contributing to its underperformance, and the implementation of targeted interventions and support to address these issues. Collaboration with the district and community partners may be crucial in developing and implementing effective solutions to improve student attendance, academic achievement, and overall school climate at Scottsburg Elementary.
