Caze Elementary School

Summary:

Caze Elementary School is a public elementary school in Evansville, Indiana, serving 393 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp, which is ranked 242 out of 381 school districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Caze Elementary stands out from nearby schools like Stockwell Elementary School, Lincoln School, and Harper Elementary School in several key ways. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (46.31%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 6.88% to 45.34%. Caze also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.8% to 34.4% over the past three years, much higher than the 15.9% to 28.5% seen in nearby schools. Academically, Caze students perform well below the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp and Indiana state averages, with only 16.23% proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to 37.25% and 37.06% for the district.

Despite Caze Elementary's higher spending per student, ranging from $10,475 to $13,162 over the past four years, the school's academic performance remains significantly below average. This suggests that addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism and racial disparities may be key to improving student outcomes. Comparing Caze to nearby schools like Joshua Academy highlights the unique challenges the school faces, which will likely require a tailored, data-driven approach to address.

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.
