Summary:
The 47665 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Owensville Community School, which serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 404 students. The school is part of the South Gibson School Corporation, a district ranked 28th out of 380 in Indiana and with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Owensville Community School's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is generally below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates range from 35.19% to 62.5% in English Language Arts and 31.25% to 62.5% in Math, with the highest proficiency rates in 4th and 6th grade Math. The school's proficiency rates in Science (59.76% for all grades) and Social Studies (33.33% for 5th grade) are more mixed, with Science being above the district average and Social Studies being below.
The school faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% and a relatively high percentage of students (40.84%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,633 and low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, these resources do not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic performance, suggesting that further investigation into the specific factors contributing to the school's performance and the strategies being employed to address these challenges would be valuable.
