Summary:
The Phalen Leadership Academy at Louis B Russell School 48 district in Indiana contains a single elementary school, Louis B Russell Junior School 48, which serves grades K-6 with an enrollment of approximately 300 students. This school faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
According to the data, Louis B Russell Junior School 48 has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Indiana elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating out of 5. The school's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 13-22% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 62.4%, which can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively high spending per student of $16,273, which is higher than the state average. This raises questions about how the school's resources are being allocated and whether they are being used effectively to support student learning. The school's socioeconomic challenges, with 84% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to the academic struggles and indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
