Summary:
The 46166 zip code area has only one elementary school, Paragon Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4. This school has a predominantly White student population (95.29%) and a high percentage of students (60.21%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage in the community.
Academically, Paragon Elementary School is struggling, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (26.47%) and Math (39.71%) that are lower than the MSD Martinsville Schools district averages (35.66% and 40.77%, respectively). The school's 3rd and 4th-grade proficiency rates in both subjects are also below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.6%, which is significantly higher than the district average of 35.66%.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 and higher per-student spending of $11,625, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The data suggests that Paragon Elementary School may need to re-evaluate its instructional practices, support systems, and attendance policies to address the academic challenges faced by its students.
