Summary

Rockport-Ohio Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 200 S 6th St in Rockport, Indiana — a small Ohio River town in the southwestern corner of the state — serving 317 students as the larger of the two elementary schools in the South Spencer County School Corp.

Academically, the school has been sliding for years. In 2025–26, 37.59% of students were proficient in ELA, 24.06% in math, and 16.67% in science — the lowest math and science results of any nearby school compared, and the lowest overall standing in that group at the 31st percentile with 2 stars. It peaked at the 74th percentile in 2020–21 and has fallen 43 percentile points since; math is down 26 points over four years and science down 35. Fourth grade is the sharpest concern, with just 13.89% proficient in math and 16.67% in science, far below both district and state. The most telling comparison is inside the district: Luce Elementary School, 7.4 miles away under the same administration and curriculum, posts 65.6% ELA, 66.7% math, and 73.1% science. Rockport-Ohio also trails nearby schools with similar or higher poverty rates, such as Oakdale Elementary School and Loge Elementary School.

There are real strengths. Chronic absenteeism is 12.1%, below the district's 14.7% and the state's 16.7%, and it has held steady for five years — students show up. Classes have gotten smaller (15.9 to 12.4 students per teacher) and per-student spending rose about 17% to $9,763. ELA and 5th-grade social studies have rebounded, and the last two years have been flat at 31st percentile, which may mean the decline has bottomed out. Still, good attendance, smaller classes, and rising spending have not yet translated into learning, which points to instruction rather than resources as the main challenge.
