Switzerland County Elementary School

Summary:

Switzerland County Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 392 students in grades PK-6 in East Enterprise, Indiana. The school is part of the Switzerland County School Corporation, which is ranked 211 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Switzerland County Elementary School stands out in several key ways. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.62%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Central Elementary (84.98% white) and Lawrenceburg Primary (88.36% white). Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 27.7% to 32.9% over the past 3 years, which is notably higher than the state average and most nearby schools. Switzerland County Elementary's test scores on the ILEARN assessments are also generally below the state averages and the scores of nearby higher-performing schools, such as Dillsboro Elementary.

The high rates of free/reduced lunch (57.14% to 60.5%) at Switzerland County Elementary School may indicate that the school is serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance compared to nearby schools. Additionally, the fact that Switzerland County Elementary and the other schools in the Switzerland County School Corporation are all rated 2 stars or below by SchoolDigger suggests that there may be district-level factors impacting the performance of all schools in the district.

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.
