Van Duyn Elementary School

Q: Is Van Duyn Elementary School a good school?

Van Duyn Elementary School ranks 441 st of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Van Duyn Elementary School is a public elementary school in Clinton, Indiana, serving 247 students in grades PK-5 and part of the South Vermillion Com School Corp district.

Van Duyn stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in math, where 54.24% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better on the ILEARN assessment in 2023-2024, compared to 32.69% for the district and 52.4% statewide. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.44% to 53.04% over the past three years. Despite its academic success, Van Duyn's statewide ranking has declined from 372 out of 1,040 Indiana elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 441 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, indicating that other schools may be improving at a faster rate.

One notable characteristic of Van Duyn is its significantly higher percentage of white students (97.17% in 2022-2023) compared to the surrounding schools, such as Central Elementary and Benjamin Franklin Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. This lack of demographic diversity may present challenges in preparing students for an increasingly diverse world. Additionally, Van Duyn has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.4% in 2020-2021 to 20.6% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district average and may impact student learning and academic outcomes if not addressed.

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.
