Summary:

Zip code 47273 is home to one elementary school, Scipio Elementary School, serving students from Kindergarten through 6th grade. This school is part of the Jennings County School Corporation, which ranks 170 out of 380 districts in Indiana.

Scipio Elementary School generally performs above the district average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, with proficiency rates of 44.3% in ELA and 51.01% in Math for all grades in the 2024-2025 school year. The school shows particular strength in 4th-grade math, achieving 72.41% proficiency, significantly outperforming both the district and state. Similarly, 3rd-grade math proficiency is strong at 60.98%. However, the school faces challenges in 5th-grade social studies, with only 25.53% proficiency, and 6th-grade math, where proficiency dropped from the previous year and remains below district and state averages. 5th-grade ELA and Math also show some fluctuations and are not as strong as in lower grades.

Despite serving a student population with a high rate of socioeconomic need, indicated by a 64.66% free/reduced lunch rate, Scipio Elementary School has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.8 and a high spending per student of $14,079. A significant concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, which may impact academic performance. The school's statewide ranking has seen a decline in recent years, dropping from 379 in 2020-2021 to 518 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased to 2 stars, suggesting areas for further investigation and improvement.
