Summary

Owensville Community School is a K–8 school in Owensville, Indiana, a small Gibson County town, serving 396 students as part of the South Gibson School Corporation. It is a solid 4-star school, ranked 270th of 1,015 Indiana schools in 2025–2026 (73rd percentile), while its district ranks 39th of 374 (90th percentile, 4 stars). Long term, Owensville improved from 663rd of 1,046 in 2015–2016 (37th percentile, 2 stars), but recent years have plateaued between the 67th and 77th percentiles. Within the district, it ranks below Haubstadt Community School (231st, 77th percentile) and Fort Branch Community School (226th, 78th percentile).

Attendance is a clear strength. Owensville's chronic absenteeism rate is 4.3%, far below Indiana's 16.7% and the district's 5.4%, lower than Fort Branch's 7.9%, though slightly above Haubstadt's 3.9%. It also fell from 10.8% in 2021–2022. However, Owensville trails peers academically despite the highest nearby per-student spending—$14,633—and a favorable student–teacher ratio of 12.9. All-grade ELA proficiency is 48.28% vs 52.34% district, 53.14% Haubstadt, 54.45% Fort Branch. Math is the biggest gap: 51.34% vs 59.73% district, 56.28% Fort Branch, 70.75% Haubstadt. Science is closer: 52.27% vs 53.4% district. North Elementary School has similar poverty (40.11% free/reduced lunch vs Owensville's 43.69%) but higher ELA (60.7%) and math (61.19%) while spending only $9,255 per student.

Grade-level results are mixed. Early grades are relatively strong: 3rd–5th grade ELA, 4th grade math, 4th grade science, and 5th grade social studies all beat district and state averages. Middle school is the soft spot: 6th grade ELA is 25% vs 44.79% district, 8th grade math is 37.5% vs 58.15%, 8th grade ELA is 45.83% vs 57.07%, 6th grade science is 42.5% vs 55.83%, and 7th grade ELA is 52.63% vs 62.5%. Compared with nearby Princeton schools, Owensville is much stronger: Princeton Community Intermediate School has 30.47% ELA, 39.43% math, 36.09% science, and 17.0% chronic absenteeism. Bottom line: Owensville is a 4-star school with excellent attendance and early-grade strengths, but it should focus on middle-school ELA and math and ask why same-district and similarly high-poverty nearby schools get more academic results with similar or fewer resources.
