Summary:

There is one elementary school serving zip code 47260, Medora STEM Academy, which serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade.

Medora STEM Academy has an enrollment of 100 students and is part of the Medora Community School Corp. The school's statewide ranking has seen a significant decline, dropping from 395th in 2021-2022 to 756th out of 1016 Indiana elementary schools in 2022-2023. Academically, the school shows a mixed performance. While it excels in math, with proficiency rates in 3rd and 5th grade exceeding state averages in recent years, its English Language Arts (ELA) scores are consistently below state averages across various grade levels. Social Studies performance also shows variability, with a notable dip in 5th grade proficiency in 2023-2024 compared to the state average.

The school reports a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is a concern that could impact student learning. A significant portion of the student body, 59%, qualifies for free or reduced lunch, indicating a higher prevalence of socioeconomic challenges within the student population. On a positive note, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.3, suggesting smaller class sizes. The spending per student is $11,463, which is a substantial figure, though a comparison to district and state averages would provide more context on resource allocation.
