Summary

Switzerland County Elementary School is a PK–6 school serving 323 students in the small southeastern Indiana community of East Enterprise, part of the Switzerland County School Corp. In 2025–2026, it ranked 687th of 1,015 Indiana schools (32nd percentile, 2 stars). Its recent trajectory has been volatile: it climbed from the mid-20s/low-30s percentile range between 2015–2016 and 2018–2019 to a peak of 55th percentile (3 stars) in 2023–2024, then slipped to 49th percentile in 2024–2025 and 32nd percentile in 2025–2026 — a 23-percentile-point drop from its peak, though still above its earlier baseline.

Academically, the school's clearest signature is math above its district and ELA below it. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 33.91% versus the district's 26.14%, while ELA was 23.7% versus the district's 33.33%. ELA is below district and state at every tested grade, with 6th grade especially low at 17.39%, nearly 24 points below the state. Compared with same-district Jefferson-Craig Elementary School, the two are nearly tied in overall rank, but SCES leads in math by more than 10 points while trailing badly in ELA (23.7% vs. 32.35%). Higher-performing neighbors South Ripley Elementary School and Dillsboro Elementary School post ELA and math proficiency in the 55–63% range, far above SCES.

The school also serves a high-poverty population: 61.61% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, the highest among the nearby schools listed. It spends $12,670 per student, more than every nearby school shown, and its student-teacher ratio jumped from 15.8 to 19.5 in one year — also the highest nearby. Attendance is a genuine bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell from 32.9% to 14.4% over two years and now sits below district and state averages, though nearby peers are in the 4–10% range. The clearest opportunities for the school appear to be targeted ELA support and bringing class sizes back in line with neighboring schools.
