Spencer-Owen Community Schools

The Spencer-Owen Community Schools district in Indiana consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of academic performance across the district, with some standout schools like McCormick's Creek Elementary School consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests, while other schools like Spencer Elementary School and Owen Valley Middle School tend to lag behind.

McCormick's Creek Elementary stands out as the top performer, with high proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels, as well as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.6%. In contrast, Patricksburg Elementary School has exceptional math scores, with 78.95% of 3rd graders proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's overall performance is more mixed compared to McCormick's Creek.

The data also reveals some interesting trends, such as an inverse relationship between chronic absenteeism and academic performance, and a general decline in test scores as students progress from the elementary to middle and high school levels. Additionally, the district's student population is predominantly white, with limited racial and ethnic diversity. While per-student spending varies across the schools, the data does not show a clear correlation between spending and academic outcomes.
