Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in the 46173 zip code - Rushville Elementary School. Serving students in grades K-5, Rushville Elementary is the sole public elementary school option for families in this area, which is part of the Rush County Schools district.
Rushville Elementary has an enrollment of 329 students, with a predominantly White (91.49%) student body. However, the school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (28.15%) and Math (29.91%) well below the district and state averages. This trend is consistent across grade levels, with 3rd grade ELA proficiency at just 19.35% compared to the state average of 38.6%. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 12.3%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
While Rushville Elementary's per-student spending of $10,660 is in line with the state average, the school's resources do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes for its students. With a high percentage (60.49%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school may face unique challenges in addressing the needs of its student population. Overall, the data suggests that Rushville Elementary School is struggling to effectively educate its students and will likely need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve academic achievement.
