Summary

Seymour-Redding Elementary School is a PK–4 school serving 609 students on North Ewing Street in Seymour, Indiana, making it one of the largest elementaries in Seymour Community Schools and roughly seven times the size of the district's smallest, Cortland Elementary School (89 students). For 2025–2026 it ranks 750 of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 26th percentile, 1 star. The biggest concern is direction: Redding was a steady 2-star school through 2022–23 with percentiles in the high 30s to mid 40s, but has now spent three straight years at 1 star, a decline of roughly 15–19 percentile points.

Redding's performance is unusually uneven by subject. All-grades ILEARN proficiency is 39.57% in math, 32.65% in science, and 21.28% in ELA. Math runs about 11 points above the district average and science about 6 points above, while reading sits below the district figure — an 18-point gap between math and ELA, compared with only about 3 points district-wide. Fourth-grade math (47.96%) is the standout, within about 4 points of the state, while third-grade math (33.58%) trails the state by more than 18 points. Reading is the real story: it has fallen from 30.52% to 21.28% over three years, and at both third and fourth grade Redding's ELA proficiency is roughly half the state rate.

Nearby comparisons are revealing. Emerson Elementary School, just 1.2 miles away, has a similar poverty profile and class size yet scores about 16 points higher in ELA and 20 points higher in math — on roughly $1,680 more per student. Meanwhile Seymour-Jackson Elementary School has the same 609 enrollment, the same PK–4 grades, and the same district rating, yet Redding outperforms it in every subject. Chronic absenteeism (15.3%) beats district and state averages but is the highest among Seymour's five elementaries, and per-student spending ($10,561) is second-lowest among 11 nearby schools — even as it rose about 23% since 2020–21.
