Scott Elementary School

Summary:

Scott Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Evansville, Indiana, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 528. The school is part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation district, which is ranked 242 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Scott Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Indiana, with a statewide ranking between 43-153 over the past 10 years. The school's ILEARN test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, 55.67% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district average of 37.25% and the state average of 38.6% for 3rd grade. In math, 58.67% of students were proficient or better, compared to the district average of 37.06%. However, the school has a predominantly white student population, with 89.39% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year, which is lower than the nearby Evans School and Stockwell Elementary School.

Scott Elementary also stands out for its low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with only 18.37% in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly lower than the nearby Cedar Hall Community School, which had a 92.93% rate of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, Scott Elementary has a low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.0%, much lower than the 37.3% rate at Evans School. These factors suggest that Scott Elementary is providing a high-quality education to its students, but also raise questions about the equity of educational opportunities within the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation district.

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.
