Ray Crowe Elementary

Q: Is Ray Crowe Elementary a good school?

Ray Crowe Elementary ranks 611 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Ray Crowe Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenwood, Indiana, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corp, a 4-star district ranked 106 out of 381 in the state.

While Ray Crowe Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 60.11% White, 6.55% African American, 10.49% Hispanic, and 16.29% Asian students, its academic performance lags behind some nearby schools like Clark Elementary and Grassy Creek Elementary, which have higher racial diversity and stronger test scores. Ray Crowe's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate of 50% is higher than the state and district averages, but its overall English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates are lower. This may be due to factors like lower per-student spending ($7,095 in 2021-2022) compared to schools like Break-O-Day Elementary ($11,783) and Whiteland Elementary ($11,429), as well as a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (58.61%) than nearby schools.

However, Ray Crowe Elementary has seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 9.3% in 2021-2022 to 7.3% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the nearby Greenwood Northeast Elementary (15.8%) and V.O. Isom Central Elementary (20.1%), though still higher than Whiteland Elementary (4.4%). Additionally, the school has seen a decrease in its student-teacher ratio, from 21.3 in 2021-2022 to 15.5 in 2022-2023, which is a positive trend that may help improve student learning and engagement.

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.
