Summary:

The city of Scottsburg, Indiana is home to 5 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Scott County School District 2. While the district is ranked 89 out of 381 in the state and rated 4 stars, the schools within it display varying levels of academic performance and other key metrics.

Johnson Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking 249 out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools and boasting the highest proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math across all grades. In contrast, Scottsburg Senior High School lags behind, with proficiency rates in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing and SAT/Mathematics lower than the state averages. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, ranging from 13.2% at Vienna-Finley Elementary to 30.1% at the high school.

Socioeconomic challenges are evident, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 51.26% at Vienna-Finley Elementary to 73.2% at Scottsburg Elementary. This, along with the lack of racial diversity across the schools, may be contributing factors to the disparities in academic performance observed within the Scottsburg school system.
