Summary:
The Pike County School Corp district in Indiana is home to two elementary schools: Petersburg Elementary School and Winslow Elementary School. While both schools serve students in grades K-6, they exhibit some notable differences in their performance and characteristics.
Winslow Elementary School stands out as the stronger performer, with higher proficiency rates in ILEARN/English Language Arts (30.65%) and ILEARN/Math (41.94%) compared to Petersburg Elementary's 24.65% in ELA and 36.74% in Math. Winslow also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 15.3% versus Petersburg's 9.6%.

Both have a predominantly white student population and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges in the communities they serve. Additionally, both schools are ranked in the bottom half of Indiana elementary schools, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve overall student achievement and engagement.
