Summary:
Taylorsville, Indiana is home to a single public elementary school, Taylorsville Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's diverse student population includes a significant Hispanic enrollment, but its academic performance has consistently lagged behind district and state averages.
Taylorsville Elementary School's ILEARN test scores in English Language Arts and Math fall well below the benchmarks set by the Bartholomew Con School Corp and the state of Indiana. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 25% to 51.32% in ELA and 23.68% to 51.32% in Math, compared to district averages of 37.51% to 42.93% in ELA and 37.75% to 51.78% in Math. This underperformance has resulted in the school receiving 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past three years.
Taylorsville Elementary School also faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 12.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state's target of 10% or less. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantage, with 74.92% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's per-student spending of $11,504 in 2021-2022 is slightly above the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 16.3 is within the typical range, these factors alone have not been enough to overcome the school's academic struggles.
