Summary

Seymour-Redding Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Seymour, Indiana, with an enrollment of 624 students.

On the 2024-2025 ILEARN assessments, only 26.5% of Seymour-Redding students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 25.38% for the Seymour Community Schools district and 40.3% statewide. In math, 38.46% of Seymour-Redding students were proficient, compared to 28.83% for the district.
