West Crawford Elementary School

Q: Is West Crawford Elementary School a good school?

West Crawford Elementary School ranks 517 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

West Crawford Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Eckerty, Indiana, serving 184 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Crawford County Community School Corporation, which is ranked 218 out of 381 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While West Crawford Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.57%) compared to the surrounding schools, it faces several challenges. The school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (24.0%) and lower test scores in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 70.11% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. Despite having a higher spending per student ($11,930 in 2021-2022) than the state average, the school's academic performance has steadily declined, dropping from a 5-star rating in 2015-2016 to a 2-star rating in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby schools, such as South Crawford Elementary School and East Crawford Elementary School, which are part of the same school district, West Crawford Elementary School's academic performance lags behind, particularly in English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. This suggests a need to investigate the factors contributing to the differences in performance within the same district and address the challenges facing West Crawford Elementary School, including high chronic absenteeism and low academic achievement, to improve the educational outcomes for its students.

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.
