Summary:
Otwell Miller Academy is the sole elementary school located in Otwell, Indiana, serving students from grades K-5. This small school has consistently struggled to provide quality education to its students, ranking in the bottom 20% of Indiana elementary schools over the past three years.
Otwell Miller Academy faces significant challenges, with student performance on ILEARN assessments well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The school's homogeneous student population, with 98.94% of students identifying as White, and a high percentage of students (61.7%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggest that the school may be facing unique socioeconomic and demographic hurdles that contribute to its persistent underperformance.
Addressing the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 12.7%, which is higher than the state average, may be an important step in improving student outcomes. Additionally, the school's small student population of 94 students and a student-teacher ratio of 11.7 indicate that the school may need to allocate resources and support more effectively to address the unique needs of its student body and drive academic improvement.
