Summary

Jefferson-Craig Elementary School is a PK–6 school in Vevay, Indiana, serving 425 students — the largest enrollment in the Switzerland County School Corp — and it ranked 685th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (33rd percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, tracking its district closely.

Attendance is the school's standout strength: 8.5% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, roughly half the state (16.7%) and district (16.5%) rates, and down from 27.2% four years earlier — a drop of about 69%. Only Dillsboro Elementary School (4.0%) is lower among nearby schools. Mathematics is the clear soft spot. All-grade math proficiency is 23.5%, down about 19 points in three years, and 5th-grade math stands at 14.3% against a state figure of 42%. Reading (32.4%) is stronger than same-district Switzerland County Elementary School (23.7%), though that school is stronger in math (33.9%). Poverty doesn't explain the gap: Dillsboro Elementary School serves a similar free/reduced-lunch population (50.2% vs. 53.9%) yet posts 55.7% ELA, 63.5% math, and 68.8% science.

Jefferson-Craig produces these results on the leanest budget in its comparison group — $9,869 per student, about $2,800 less than Switzerland County Elementary School. Bright spots include 6th grade, where it beats its district in every measured subject, and 3rd-grade ELA (38.5%). Science and social studies hold up better than math. The things to watch are 5th-grade math, 4th-grade ELA, and whether the attendance gains eventually show up in achievement.
