Summary:
The Tell City-Troy Township School Corp district in Indiana has only one elementary school, William Tell Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it also faces challenges in terms of inconsistent academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.
Academically, William Tell Elementary School's performance on ILEARN tests is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average in English Language Arts and Math, while others fall below. The school's 5th-grade students, however, performed above the state average in Social Studies. Additionally, over half of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, William Tell Elementary School has a few strengths, including its low student-teacher ratio of 14.8, which may contribute to more individualized attention for students. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% is a significant concern and may be a contributing factor to the inconsistent academic performance. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to improve student outcomes could be crucial for the school and the district to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
