North Knox Intermediate

Q: Is North Knox Intermediate a good school?

North Knox Intermediate ranks 527 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

North Knox Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in Bruceville, Indiana, with a student population of 388 and a predominantly White student body. While part of the North Knox School Corporation, which is ranked 210 out of 381 school districts in the state, the school has faced several challenges in recent years.

One key concern is North Knox Intermediate's relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.9% to 19.0% in recent years, which are significantly higher than nearby schools like Carlisle Elementary (8.0%) and South Knox Elementary (8.8%). Additionally, the school's test scores, as measured by ILEARN assessments, have been below the state averages and lower than high-performing schools like Benjamin Franklin Elementary. North Knox Intermediate also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.21% to 57.73%, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools.

When compared to other nearby schools, North Knox Intermediate appears to be underperforming in several key areas. This raises concerns about equity and the school's ability to provide the necessary resources and support to ensure all students can succeed. The school's relatively low spending per student, ranging from $7,183 to $8,264 in recent years, may be a contributing factor to its underperformance. Addressing these challenges and providing the necessary resources and support to the school and its students could be crucial in improving its performance and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all.

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.
