Q: Is Triton Elementary School a good school?

Triton Elementary School ranks 461 st of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Triton Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bourbon, Indiana, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 528. The school is part of the Triton School Corporation district, which is ranked 88 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Triton Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (around 90%) compared to the nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. While the school's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the Triton School Corporation and Indiana state averages, its 6th-grade English Language Arts and Math scores are notably higher than the other grades. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of around 8-9%, and a high percentage of students (around 50%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than some of the nearby schools. Triton Elementary School's spending per student has increased over the years, reaching $8,999 in the 2020-2021 school year, which is higher than the nearby schools.

The school's performance on ILEARN tests has fluctuated over the years, with a general trend of declining rankings and star ratings from SchoolDigger. However, the school's commitment to supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and its strong performance at the 6th-grade level are particularly noteworthy. The school's lack of diversity compared to the nearby schools, such as Madison Elementary School, Nappanee Elementary School, and Woodview Elementary School, is an area that the school may want to address.

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.
