Crothersville Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The student population is predominantly white (91.82%), in contrast to the more diverse demographics of surrounding schools like Emerson Elementary and Brownstown Elementary. Academically, Crothersville Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Indiana elementary schools, with proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math well below state averages. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.4% to 21.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Crothersville Elementary's challenges appear to be linked to socioeconomic factors, with 61.82% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and the school spending between $8,581 and $10,061 per student, on the lower end compared to surrounding schools. This suggests the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to its academic struggles and high absenteeism rates. Addressing these issues will be crucial for Crothersville Elementary to improve and provide a high-quality education for its students.

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.
