Adams Central Elementary School

Summary:

Adams Central Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 647 students in grades 1-5 in Monroe, Indiana. The school is part of the Adams Central Community Schools district, which is ranked 43 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Adams Central Elementary School stands out in several key areas. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.88%) compared to surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school also generally performs better than the state average on ILEARN tests, particularly in math, with 53.68% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 40.8%. Additionally, Adams Central Elementary has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 0.7% to 3.2% over the past few years, which is lower than the surrounding schools. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from a high of 4 stars to 3 stars currently, suggesting that it may be facing some challenges that are impacting its overall performance.

While Adams Central Elementary has historically been a well-performing school, the data reveals some interesting findings. The school's student population is significantly less diverse than the surrounding schools, such as Heritage Elementary School, Bloomfield Elementary School, and Ossian Elementary, which may indicate a lack of representation and diversity within the school community. Additionally, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate has increased from 20.31% in 2021-2022 to 31.53% in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school may be serving a higher proportion of students from lower-income families. These factors, along with the school's declining ranking, suggest that Adams Central Elementary may be facing some challenges that could impact its future performance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
