Ladoga Elementary School

Q: Is Ladoga Elementary School a good school?

Ladoga Elementary School ranks 107 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Ladoga Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 163 students in grades PK-5 in Ladoga, Indiana. It is part of the South Montgomery Community School Corporation, a highly-ranked school district in the state.

Ladoga Elementary School consistently outperforms its district and the state of Indiana in academic achievement, with 78.67% of students proficient or better in ILEARN Math compared to 61.85% for the district and 52.4% for the state. The school's strong financial resources, low student-teacher ratio, and focus on excellence appear to be key factors contributing to its success. Interestingly, Ladoga Elementary outperforms nearby New Market Elementary School and Walnut Elementary School, which are also part of the South Montgomery district, in both English Language Arts and Math ILEARN scores.

However, the school has seen a recent increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.9% in 2021-2022 to 12.8% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern. Despite serving a more economically disadvantaged population, with 50.92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Ladoga Elementary has maintained a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the majority of the years examined, indicating a sustained level of high performance over time.

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.
