Summary:
Gosport, Indiana is home to a single school, Gosport Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school, part of the Spencer-Owen Community Schools district, has a relatively high percentage of white students (90.97%) compared to other racial and ethnic groups.
Gosport Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with the school outperforming the district and state averages on ILEARN assessments in both English Language Arts and Math for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's performance varied by grade level, with some grades scoring above the district and state, while others scored below. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3%, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
Despite these challenges, Gosport Elementary School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years, indicating a relatively stable level of academic performance. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 and spends $12,701 per student, which is above the state average. These factors may be potential strengths, as they suggest smaller class sizes and more resources available to support student learning. However, the high percentage of students (75.69%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may have implications for the resources and support needed to address the unique challenges faced by these students.
