Francis Vigo Elementary School

Summary:

Francis Vigo Elementary School is a public elementary school in Vincennes, Indiana, serving 347 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Vincennes Community School Corporation. The school faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population with a higher level of economic disadvantage compared to the state and district averages.

Academically, Francis Vigo Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (24.49%) and Math (38.1%) are significantly lower than the Vincennes Community School Corporation averages (31.45% and 34.62%, respectively) and the state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, dropping from 451 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 719 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024. In comparison, Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, another school in the district, had much higher proficiency rates in both subjects.

Additionally, Francis Vigo Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (61.96%), which is notably higher than the district average (47.42% at South Knox Elementary) and the state average. This suggests that the school serves a more economically disadvantaged 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.
