Vienna-Finley Elementary School

Summary:

Vienna-Finley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Scottsburg, Indiana, serving 398 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Scott County School District 2, which is ranked 89 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Vienna-Finley has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.72%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, its academic performance is mixed. The school performs above the district average in math but lags behind in English Language Arts across all grade levels. Additionally, Vienna-Finley has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.5% in 2020-2021 to 21.6% in 2021-2022. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (51.26%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Johnson Elementary and Lexington Elementary, Vienna-Finley's academic performance is generally lower, particularly in English Language Arts. This suggests that the school may benefit from learning from the instructional practices and strategies employed by its higher-performing counterparts. Additionally, Vienna-Finley's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 145th out of 1,020 Indiana elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 447th out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, indicating a need for the school to re-evaluate its educational approach and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.

After visiting many schools on a professional level and selecting Vienna Finley for my child, I am very pleased with the attention to detail the teachers have for each student. Even if the teacher is not my child's teacher they still know her name and are warm and welcoming. I am also happy with the individual attention each student receives even with an average of 19 students per class. Close Quote

Great school, awesome staff, great program that reduces bullying and hazing in the Watch Dog program. Phenomenal school wouldn't change a thing. Brent Comer and his staff take it upon themselves to provide a family like atmosphere and acknowledge every student that they see each and every time they see them. Close Quote

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.
