Summary:

Grassy Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greenwood, Indiana, serving 633 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation, a highly-ranked school district in the state.

Grassy Creek stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages on ILEARN tests, particularly in Math and English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, 62.24% of Grassy Creek's 5th-graders scored proficient or better in ELA, compared to 51.37% for the district and 40.3% for the state. This success is notable given that Grassy Creek serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 58.93% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's diverse student population, with 25.75% Asian and 10.74% African American students, further challenges the perception that diverse schools struggle academically.

Compared to nearby schools in the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation, Grassy Creek excels in academic achievement while also maintaining a more diverse student body. However, the school's higher chronic absenteeism rate of 9.1% is an area for improvement. Grassy Creek's per-student spending has also increased steadily, from $7,275 in 2018-2019 to $10,312 in 2021-2022, which may contribute to its academic success. Overall, Grassy Creek Elementary is a high-performing, diverse school that effectively supports student learning, despite serving a population with greater economic challenges.

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.
