Q: Is Perry Worth Elementary School a good school?

Summary:

Perry Worth Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lebanon, Indiana, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Lebanon Community School Corporation. This school consistently maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong academic performance, and outperforms the district and state averages in ILEARN test scores.

One key differentiator of Perry Worth Elementary is its racial diversity, with a student population that is 74.19% White, 12.33% African American, 7.91% Hispanic, and 1.4% Asian - higher than nearby schools like Harney Elementary School and Central Elementary School. However, the school faces challenges with a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to nearby schools, and an increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

While Perry Worth Elementary outperforms many local schools, it still lags behind the exceptional academic performance of schools in the highly-ranked Zionsville Community Schools district, where schools like Zionsville Pleasant View Elementary, Boone Meadow, and Trailside Elementary consistently achieve proficiency rates above 60% in both English Language Arts and Math.

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.
