Summary:
The Paoli Community School Corp district has one elementary school, Throop Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-6. Located in the town of Paoli, Indiana, the school has a student population of 712 and a predominantly White (94.24%) demographic.
Academically, Throop Elementary School's performance on the ILEARN assessments is generally on par with or slightly above the district average across most grade levels and subject areas. However, there are some areas where the school's performance lags behind the state average, such as 3rd and 6th grade math. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (61.38%), indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.2% is relatively high, which could be an area for potential improvement.
Despite these challenges, Throop Elementary School benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6, suggesting a favorable learning environment with smaller class sizes. The school's spending per student of $10,966 is also higher than the national average, which may contribute to the school's academic performance and resources available to students. Overall, Throop Elementary School appears to be performing reasonably well academically, with some areas for potential improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and reducing chronic absenteeism.
