Sugar Grove Elementary School

Summary:

Sugar Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Greenwood, Indiana, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of around 800 students. The school is part of the Center Grove Community School Corporation, which is ranked 15th out of 381 school districts in Indiana and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sugar Grove Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools like Center Grove Elementary, Pleasant Grove Elementary, and North Grove Elementary. In the 2022-2023 school year, 24.62% of Sugar Grove's students were non-white, while the other schools ranged from 18.24% to 34.38%. Academically, Sugar Grove's performance on ILEARN tests is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, but the school has maintained a consistent ranking over the years. However, Sugar Grove has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (7.6%) compared to nearby schools, and a higher percentage of students (33.88%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the diversity of its student population, Sugar Grove Elementary appears to be providing a stable and quality education. The school's academic performance suggests it is effectively serving students from diverse backgrounds. However, the higher chronic absenteeism rate and socioeconomic factors may be areas of concern that the school and district could investigate further to understand the underlying causes and implement strategies to address them.

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.
