Deputy Elementary School

Summary:

Deputy Elementary School is a small public school serving grades PK-4 in the town of Deputy, Indiana, with a student population of 112. Despite its small size, the school stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently outpacing the Jennings County School Corporation district and the state of Indiana in academic assessments.

One of the key factors that sets Deputy Elementary apart is its exceptional academic performance. In the 2023-2024 school year, 61.29% of all grades were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 45.57% for the district, and an impressive 80.65% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 41.41% for the district. This consistent academic excellence has earned the school a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking in the top 15% of Indiana elementary schools, placing 58th out of 1,010 schools in the state.

While Deputy Elementary School stands out for its academic achievements, it also has a notably homogeneous student population, with 97-100% of students identifying as white over the past three years. This is significantly higher than the racial diversity seen in nearby schools, such as North Vernon Elementary School and Hayden Elementary School. Additionally, the school serves a relatively low-income community, with 68.75% to 73.33% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, which is higher than the state average. Despite these challenges, Deputy Elementary School continues to excel academically, suggesting the school is effectively supporting its students and providing a high-quality education.

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.
