Summary

Gosport Elementary School is a small rural school in Gosport, Indiana, serving 149 students in grades PK–6 as part of Spencer-Owen Community Schools. It ranks 480th of 1,015 Indiana schools for 2025–2026 — the 53rd percentile with a 3-star rating — up from 605th of 1,005 (40th percentile, 2 stars) the prior year, and its district ranks 163rd of 374 statewide. Because enrollment is so small, proficiency percentages come from small numbers of students and can swing widely from year to year.

About 71.81% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025 — the highest rate among nearby schools with reported data, above same-district McCormick's Creek Elementary School (44.62%) and Spencer Elementary School (58.54%), and far above Marlin Elementary School (30.63%). Chronic absenteeism was 22.4%, above both the district (16.5%) and state (16.7%), though greatly improved from pandemic-era peaks above 37%. The 12.9 student-teacher ratio is favorable, and per-student spending was $13,921 in 2023–2024.

Academically, the picture is mixed. In 2025–2026, all-grade ILEARN proficiency was 33.33% in English language arts, 50.79% in math, and 60% in science. Math is the most consistent strength, exceeding the district average in every recent year. ELA is the clearest weakness: grades 3, 4, and 5 all fell below state averages, and only 6th grade met or exceeded the state mark. The 6th grade posted 71.43% in both math and science, while 5th grade scored 30% in ELA, 35% in math, and 30% in social studies. Science jumped from 23.68% to 60%, but small cohorts mean that gain needs another year of data before it can be trusted as a trend. Gosport also outperformed Arlington Heights Elementary School and Paragon Elementary School across subjects despite higher poverty. Overall, this is a mid-pack school with recent improvement, where early literacy, 5th grade support, and attendance are the most promising areas to address.
