Summary:
The Silver Creek School Corporation in Indiana operates two elementary schools - Silver Creek Elementary School and Silver Creek Primary School. While both schools serve the same community, they exhibit some notable differences in their performance, spending, and student demographics.
Silver Creek Elementary School stands out as the stronger performer, ranking 434 out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages in several key ILEARN test score categories, including 3rd-5th grade English Language Arts and 3rd grade Math. Additionally, the elementary school has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 8.0% compared to the 17.4% rate at the primary school, and it spends $677 less per student than the primary school.
In contrast, Silver Creek Primary School serves a larger student population of 550 students in grades PK-1 and has a higher chronic absenteeism rate. While the primary school spends more per student, it does not appear to translate into significantly better academic outcomes compared to the elementary school. Overall, the data suggests that Silver Creek School Corporation has a strong elementary school option, but the primary school may benefit from further investigation and potential improvements to address the higher chronic absenteeism rate and spending disparities.
