Better than 12% of Indiana elementary schools

Summary

Seymour-Jackson Elementary School in Seymour, Indiana, serves about 609 students in grades PK–4 as part of Seymour Community Schools. It currently ranks 895th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 12th percentile, with a 1-star rating — while its district ranks 264th of 374 statewide. The school's position has slipped over recent years, from the 27th percentile in 2021–2022 down to the 10th–13th percentile in the three most recent years.

Academics are the biggest concern. In 2025–2026, 11.5% of students were proficient in English language arts, 23.5% in math, and 25.27% in science. Math is the lowest among nearby schools, and ELA is second-lowest, above only Margaret R Brown Elementary School. Third-grade ELA stands out at 7.34% — less than half the district rate of 17.4% and far below the state's 40.8% — pointing to early literacy struggles that can carry into later grades. The closest comparison is Seymour-Redding Elementary School, which also enrolls 609 students in PK–4 but posts higher results in every subject: 21.28% ELA, 39.57% math, and 32.65% science. Science is a relative bright spot, rising from 19.83% to 25.27%.

Family and funding context matters too. Chronic absenteeism is 12.6%, better than the district (15.8%) and state (16.7%), and it has improved — a genuine strength. About 63.88% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending is $9,707, the lowest among nearby schools. Yet spending alone does not explain results: Emerson Elementary School and Cortland Elementary School, in the same district, reach the 58th and 60th percentiles. Parents should know this school faces significant academic challenges alongside real attendance gains and some science momentum.
