Elementary Schools in South Harrison Com Schools

The South Harrison Com Schools district in Indiana is home to 4 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The data reveals significant performance disparities among these schools, with Corydon Elementary School and South Central Elementary consistently outperforming Heth-Washington Elementary School and New Middletown Elementary School on test scores and other key metrics.

Corydon Elementary, the largest school with 651 students, boasts the highest test scores in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math, as well as the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district. South Central Elementary, on the other hand, has the highest overall proficiency rates in both subjects across all grade levels, and has shown significant improvement in its statewide ranking, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Heth-Washington Elementary and New Middletown Elementary struggle with lower proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts.

The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance, with the schools that have higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (Heth-Washington and New Middletown) tending to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, the relationship between higher spending per student and better academic outcomes is not as clear, as New Middletown Elementary, which has the highest spending per student, does not necessarily have the best performance across the board.
