Neil Armstrong Elementary School

Summary:

Neil Armstrong Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mooresville, Indiana, serving 537 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Mooresville Consolidated School Corporation district.

While Neil Armstrong Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.39%) compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges. The school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (19.1%) than the district average (12.5%) and nearby Waverly Elementary (14.6%) and North Madison Elementary (13.1%). Additionally, Neil Armstrong Elementary generally underperforms the district and state on ILEARN assessments for English Language Arts and Math, with only 38.04% and 42.39% of students proficient or better, respectively, compared to the district's 43.43% and 45.27% in 3rd grade. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (55.12%) and lower per-student spending ($9,375) than nearby schools.

Interestingly, Neil Armstrong Elementary's performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 455 out of 1,016 schools in 2020-2021 to 551 out of 1,016 in 2022-2023. In comparison, the nearby Waverly Elementary and Northwood Elementary schools consistently outperform Neil Armstrong on ILEARN assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to improve student achievement in English Language Arts and Math could be potential areas for improvement at Neil Armstrong Elementary.

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.
