Swayzee Elementary School

Summary:

Swayzee Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 5-6 in the rural town of Swayzee, Indiana. With a student population of 236, the school stands out for its strong academic performance, low chronic absenteeism, and efficient resource allocation within the Oak Hill United School Corporation.

Swayzee Elementary outperforms the district and state averages on ILEARN tests, particularly in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. In 2022-2023, 43.23% of Swayzee students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.41% for the district, and 45.85% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 46.12% for the district. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 5.7%, down from 13.9% in 2020-2021, which is better than the state average. These strong academic outcomes may be attributed to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.4.

While Swayzee Elementary has a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (44.07%) compared to the state average, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, the school has seen a significant increase in its spending per student, from $6,835 in 2018-2019 to $10,136 in 2021-2022. This investment may have contributed to the school's improved performance. Notably, Swayzee Elementary stands out for its lack of diversity, with 89.41% of its students identifying as white, in contrast with the more diverse student populations of nearby schools like Bon Air Middle School and Central Middle School.

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.
