Summary:
The city of Redkey, Indiana is home to a single public elementary school, Redkey Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Jay School Corporation district. While the district is ranked 145 out of 381 in Indiana and has a 3-star rating, Redkey Elementary School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 4 stars in 2021-2022 to 2 stars in 2023-2024.
Redkey Elementary School's academic performance on ILEARN assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math lower than the district averages in 2023-2024, but higher in 2022-2023. However, the school's 5th-grade Social Studies proficiency rates have consistently outperformed both the state and district averages. The school serves a student population that is predominantly White (96.28%) and has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (56.13%), indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student body.
Despite the school's declining performance, it appears to be well-resourced, with per-student spending above the state average and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.4. This suggests that the district is allocating resources to support the school, but the continued decline in academic achievement indicates a need to re-evaluate the effectiveness of the school's instructional practices and implement targeted interventions to address the specific challenges faced by the student population.
