Summary:
The DeKalb County Ctl United School District in Indiana is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals significant variation in the performance and characteristics of these schools, with James R Watson Elementary School standing out as the top performer and Waterloo Elementary School struggling the most.
James R Watson Elementary consistently ranks among the best elementary schools in the state, earning high ratings from SchoolDigger and outperforming the district and state averages in academic measures like English Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies proficiency. In contrast, Waterloo Elementary lags behind, ranking in the bottom quarter of Indiana elementary schools and falling short of the district and state averages in most academic areas, particularly in 5th grade English Language Arts and Social Studies.
The data also reveals concerning trends, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate at Waterloo Elementary, nearly double the rate of the other schools in the district. Additionally, the student populations across all four schools are predominantly white, with very low percentages of minority students, suggesting a lack of diversity that the district may need to address. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support at the lower-performing schools to improve equity and academic achievement across the DeKalb County Ctl United School District.
