Springville Community Academy ranks 565 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Springville Community Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Springville, Indiana, with 167 students. The school is part of the Lawrence County Independent Schools district, which is ranked 167 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating.

Springville Community Academy stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (93.41%) compared to the nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. However, the school's test scores are generally lower than the state and nearby district averages, with proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math for all grades at 39.17% and 36.67%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 41.1% and 38.1%. Additionally, Springville Community Academy has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 17.4% compared to the nearby schools, which range from 14.0% to 24.7%. The school's spending per student ($9,511) is also lower than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Springville Community Academy's performance on standardized tests is generally lower, particularly compared to Lakeview Elementary and Parkview Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math. The school's lack of diversity and lower funding levels may be contributing factors to these challenges, and the district may need to focus on addressing chronic absenteeism, enhancing instructional practices, and ensuring equitable access to resources to improve student outcomes.

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.
