The Nature School of Central Indiana


Summary:

The Nature School of Central Indiana is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in this area. With a small student population of 142, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, now placing 775th out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools. Academically, the school struggles, with proficiency rates well below state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. Additionally, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 20.2 to 1.

While the school's status as a public charter provides some flexibility, this does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes for its students. The Nature School of Central Indiana spent $7,415 per student in the 2021-2022 school year, which is on par with state funding levels, but its performance lags behind. The school's predominantly white student population and declining statewide ranking suggest that it may not be meeting the educational needs of the community it serves.

Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of The Nature School of Central Indiana, a struggling public charter elementary school that is failing to provide its students with the academic support and resources they need to succeed. Further investigation would be necessary to identify the root causes of the school's challenges and develop strategies to improve its performance and better serve the The Nature School of Central Indiana community.
