Rockport-Ohio Elementary School

Summary:

Rockport-Ohio Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Rockport, Indiana, with an enrollment of 318 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. While the school is part of the South Spencer County School Corporation, which is ranked 73 out of 381 school districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating, Rockport-Ohio Elementary faces some unique challenges compared to nearby schools.

One key difference is the school's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.19%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like John H Castle Elementary and Sharon Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, Rockport-Ohio Elementary's test scores on the ILEARN assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts, with only 38.51% of all grades proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 53.5% for the district. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (12.4%) and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (60.69%) compared to nearby schools.

When comparing Rockport-Ohio Elementary to other schools in the area, the differences become even more pronounced. Schools in the Warrick County School Corporation, such as John H Castle Elementary and Sharon Elementary, consistently outperform Rockport-Ohio Elementary on test scores and other metrics. Similarly, schools in the North Spencer County School Corporation, like Lincoln Trail Elementary and Chrisney Elementary, also outperform Rockport-Ohio Elementary on most measures. These comparisons suggest that Rockport-Ohio Elementary may need targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
