Summary:
The South Dearborn Community School Corp district in Indiana is home to three elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Of these schools, Dillsboro Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, with significantly higher test scores and a stronger statewide ranking compared to the other two schools in the district.
Dillsboro Elementary School is the clear standout, ranking 217th out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students consistently outperform their peers at Aurora Elementary School and Manchester Elementary School, with 60.56% of Dillsboro students proficient or better in ILEARN/Math, compared to just 33.9% and 55.29% at the other two schools, respectively. Dillsboro also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.
While Dillsboro Elementary stands out, the South Dearborn Community School Corp district as a whole has room for improvement, ranking 159th out of 381 districts in Indiana and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates at Dillsboro Elementary and Manchester Elementary are worth further investigation to understand the underlying causes and potential interventions.
