Elementary Schools in East Gibson School Corporation

The East Gibson School Corporation in Indiana is home to two elementary schools: Wood Memorial Primary School and Wood Memorial Intermediate School. While both schools serve elementary-aged students, the data analysis reveals notable differences in their academic performance and school characteristics.

The standout school in the district is Wood Memorial Intermediate School, which has consistently ranked higher than the primary school in statewide rankings, reaching as high as 83rd out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools. The intermediate school boasts higher proficiency rates in ILEARN tests across multiple subjects, a lower chronic absenteeism rate, and spends more per student compared to the primary school.

In contrast, Wood Memorial Primary School lags behind its counterpart, with lower test scores and a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. However, the primary school still has some bright spots, such as exceeding the district and state averages in 3rd-grade ILEARN Math proficiency. The data analysis suggests that targeted interventions and resource allocation could help address the performance gap between the two schools and support the primary school's improvement efforts.
