North Elementary School

Summary:

North Elementary School is a public elementary school in Poseyville, Indiana, serving 402 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the MSD North Posey County Schools district, which is ranked 16th out of 381 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

While North Elementary School generally performs well, with test scores above the state average, it lags behind the top-performing schools in the district, such as South Terrace Elementary. North Elementary has a higher percentage of white students (93.53%) compared to nearby schools, as well as a higher rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (35.32%) and a higher chronic absenteeism rate (10.4%) than South Terrace Elementary (29.4% and 5.0%, respectively). These factors may contribute to the school's slightly lower performance on key metrics like test scores.

Despite these areas for improvement, North Elementary School is still a strong-performing school within the state, consistently ranking in the top quarter of Indiana elementary schools. By addressing the identified challenges, such as the higher chronic absenteeism rate and aligning test scores more closely with the top-tier schools in the district, the school can continue to provide a high-quality education to its students.

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.
