Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,016, Matchbook Learning has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Indiana elementary schools over the past three years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is alarmingly low, with the majority of grades scoring below 10% proficiency in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the ILEARN assessment, compared to state averages of 38.6% and 41.8% for ELA, and 52.4% and 40.8% for Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0%, which likely contributes to the poor academic outcomes.
The data analysis reveals that Matchbook Learning is a struggling school with consistently low academic performance, high poverty, and chronic absenteeism. Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending, the school is not achieving the desired academic outcomes, indicating a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and instructional practices. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for the students.
