Summary:
The city of College Corner, Indiana has only one school, College Corner Union Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's student population is predominantly White (93.36%) and faces challenges with academic performance, economic disadvantage, and chronic absenteeism.
Academically, College Corner Union Elementary School's proficiency rates on the ILEARN assessments are generally below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies. While 3rd grade math scores are above the district and state, 4th and 5th grade students struggle to meet proficiency standards. The school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 49.65% indicates a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
Despite these concerns, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7 and per-student spending of $9,146, suggesting it has access to resources that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.5% is on the higher side and will need to be addressed to ensure students are consistently engaged in their learning. Overall, Union County/Clg Corner Joint School District and the community of College Corner will need to focus on supporting this school to enhance academic performance, address economic disadvantages, and improve attendance rates.
