Summary:
The Plainfield Community School Corp district in Indiana is home to 5 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with some standouts like Central Elementary School and Van Buren Elementary School consistently ranking among the top 20% of Indiana elementary schools. While the schools vary in their racial/ethnic compositions, the data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with the school serving the highest proportion of low-income students, Clarks Creek Elementary, also having the lowest test scores.
The top-performing school in the district, Central Elementary School, boasts consistently high proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math, as well as a low chronic absenteeism rate. Van Buren Elementary School also stands out for its exceptional math performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, Clarks Creek Elementary struggles academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the other schools and the district/state averages.
The data also reveals significant differences in per-student spending, with Clarks Creek Elementary receiving the highest funding at $13,443 per student, while Central Elementary School has the lowest at $8,441 per student. This disparity in resource allocation raises questions about the equitable distribution of funds and its potential impact on educational outcomes across the Plainfield Community School Corp district.
