Q: Is Indian Creek Intermediate School a good school?

Indian Creek Intermediate School ranks 349 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Indian Creek Intermediate School is a public elementary school in Trafalgar, Indiana, serving grades 3-5 with a student population of 466. The school is part of the Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson United School District, which is ranked 125 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Indian Creek Intermediate School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in ILEARN test scores for English Language Arts and Math, with 52.83% of students proficient or better in ILEARN Math compared to 44.31% for the district and 40.8% for the state. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 0.9% in 2020-2021 to 8.3% in 2022-2023, and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 27.85% in 2021-2022 to 34.33% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, Indian Creek Intermediate School stands out for its strong academic performance, outperforming many of the other schools in the region. For example, Maple Grove Elementary School, which is part of the higher-ranked Center Grove Community School Corporation, had 73.33% of students proficient or better in ILEARN Math, compared to 52.83% at Indian Creek Intermediate School. However, the school's lack of racial diversity, with 93.99% of students being white, and its declining statewide ranking, from 210 out of 1,027 schools in 2017-2018 to 349 out of 1,010 schools in 2023-2024, may be areas of concern for the district to address.

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.
