Elementary Schools in Greensburg Community Schools

Greensburg Community Schools has one elementary school, Greensburg Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in Greensburg, Indiana, the school has a student population of 1,037, making it a relatively large elementary school in the area.

Greensburg Elementary has a predominantly white student population (89.68%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, two or more races, African American, and Asian students. The school's academic performance is mixed, with students outperforming the district and state averages in math and social studies, but underperforming in English Language Arts. While the school's spending per student is on the higher end at $10,234, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 215th out of 1,020 Indiana elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 385th out of 1,010 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be struggling to maintain its academic performance compared to other schools in the state.

Another notable aspect of Greensburg Elementary is its high percentage of students (55.35%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This may present challenges in terms of providing additional resources and support to these students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.5 to 1 is relatively low, which could be beneficial for providing more individualized attention and support to students, but the overall impact of this ratio on student outcomes is unclear.
