Summary:
The MSD Pike Township school district in Indiana is home to 9 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The data reveals stark performance differences between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, highlighting the need to address factors beyond just student demographics to improve educational outcomes across the district.
The standout schools in the district are Fishback Creek Public Academy, which is ranked 198 out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools and rated 4 out of 5 stars, and Eagle Creek Elementary, ranked 691 out of 1,010 and rated 2 out of 5 stars. These schools consistently outperform the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies proficiency rates, with Fishback Creek Public Academy spending the most per student at $12,393 and Eagle Creek Elementary spending $11,423 per student.
In contrast, the lower-performing schools in the district, such as Central Elementary and College Park Elementary, have higher chronic absenteeism rates and higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating higher levels of economic disadvantage. These factors likely contribute to the schools' lower academic performance compared to their higher-performing counterparts in the MSD Pike Township district.
