Summary:
The Medora Community School Corp district in Indiana has only one elementary school, Medora STEM Academy, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, its academic performance lags behind state averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grade subjects and social studies.
Medora STEM Academy's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are higher than the district average but still below the state level. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of nearly 40%, which can negatively impact student learning. Additionally, the student population at Medora STEM Academy is highly homogeneous, with 94% of students identifying as White, potentially limiting the diversity of educational experiences for the students.
Overall, while Medora STEM Academy has some resources and funding, the school's academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement in the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to better serve the needs of its student population and help them achieve academic success on par with state-level benchmarks.
