Eminence Elementary School

Q: Is Eminence Elementary School a good school?

Eminence Elementary School ranks 563 rd of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Eminence Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the small town of Eminence, Indiana. With a student population of 128, the school is part of the Eminence Community School Corp district, which is ranked 260 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eminence Elementary stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.75%) compared to the state average, and performs better than the district on ILEARN assessments, especially in math. For example, in 2023-2024, 48.15% of Eminence Elementary students were proficient or better in ILEARN Math, compared to just 29.91% for the district. However, the school also faces challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 13.9% to 24.3% over the past 3 years, well above the state average. Additionally, a high percentage of Eminence Elementary students (51.18% to 57.03%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.

Compared to nearby elementary schools like Mill Creek East, Centerton, and Fillmore, Eminence Elementary has a much higher percentage of white students, but lags behind in test scores and has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates. Over time, Eminence Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated, suggesting ups and downs in performance. Despite these challenges, the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and student-teacher ratio may indicate a focus on providing more resources and smaller class sizes for 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.
