Stringtown Elementary School

Summary:

Stringtown Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Evansville, Indiana, serving 332 students in grades K-5. 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.

Stringtown Elementary faces several challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (79.52%) than the more diverse student populations at schools like Oak Hill Elementary and Highland Elementary. Stringtown's test scores are also generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math at 28.95% and 34.44%, respectively, compared to the district's 37.25% and 37.06%. Additionally, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.6% in 2020-2021 to 9.0% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district average.

Stringtown Elementary's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.26% to 63.25% over the past three years, suggests that the school serves a relatively disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 487 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 702 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has dropped from 3 stars to 2 stars over the same period. Despite these challenges, Stringtown Elementary has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.8 to 13.8 over the past three years, which suggests that class sizes are not a significant factor in the school's performance.

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.
