Best Public Schools in Martinsville, IN

Summary:

The Martinsville, Indiana school district consists of 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools are part of the MSD Martinsville Schools district, except for Waverly Elementary School which is part of the Mooresville Con School Corp district. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with significant variations in academic achievement, student demographics, and resource allocation across the district.

The standout schools in the Martinsville area are Waverly Elementary School, Centerton Elementary School, and Green Township Elementary School. These schools consistently rank among the top performers in Indiana, with strong test scores, low chronic absenteeism, and high ratings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, some schools like Charles L Smith Fine Arts Academy struggle with lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism.

The data also reveals significant disparities in funding, with per-student spending ranging from $9,617 at Charles L Smith Fine Arts Academy to $11,450 at Waverly Elementary. This suggests potential inequities in resource allocation that may contribute to the performance differences observed across the district. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at Martinsville High School, are a concern that warrants further investigation and intervention to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
