Slate Run Elementary School

Q: Is Slate Run Elementary School a good school?

Slate Run Elementary School ranks 275 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Slate Run Elementary School is a public elementary school in New Albany, Indiana, serving 358 students in grades PK-4 as part of the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School District. The school faces some unique challenges, including a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, rising chronic absenteeism, and inconsistent academic performance compared to other schools in the district.

Slate Run has a higher percentage of White students (64.8%) and students identifying as two or more races (15.64%) compared to the district and state averages. While the school's math performance on ILEARN assessments is significantly higher than the district average, with 61.81% of students proficient or better, its ELA performance is lower at 45.83% proficient or better. This contrasts with the higher-performing Grant Line Elementary School, which had 62.94% of students proficient or better in ELA and 71.07% in math.

Slate Run's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (65.36%) suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, a trend seen in other high-poverty schools in the area, such as S. Ellen Jones Elementary and Green Valley Elementary. Additionally, Slate Run's rising chronic absenteeism rate, from 19.8% in 2020-2021 to 25.8% in 2022-2023, is a concern and may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.

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.
