Summary:
The Eastern Greene Schools district has only one elementary school, Eastern Greene Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is located in a predominantly white, rural area and has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 53% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite serving a small community, Eastern Greene Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on standardized tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (25.41%) and Math (36.48%) were significantly below the state averages of 38.6-41.8% and 40.8-52.4%, respectively. The school's 5th-grade Social Studies proficiency rate of 35.23% was also below the state average of 38.1%. This pattern of underperformance has been consistent over the past few years, with the school's statewide ranking ranging from 639 to 713 out of 1,010-1,020 Indiana elementary schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's demographic makeup, with over 96% of students identifying as White, and its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be contributing factors to its academic challenges. The school's student-teacher ratio of 18.4 is slightly higher than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.2% in the 2022-2023 school year is also a concern. These factors suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population and improve academic outcomes.
