Summary:
The 47243 zip code area in Southwestern-Jefferson County Con school district is home to 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While Southwestern Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, the middle and high schools in the area appear to be underperforming compared to state averages.
Southwestern Elementary School has the highest overall ILEARN proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students exceeding district and state averages. The school also has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools. In contrast, Southwestern High School and Southwestern Middle School struggle to meet state benchmarks across multiple subjects and grade levels, with only 14-34% of students proficient on ILEARN assessments.
The data suggests a significant performance gap between the elementary school and the middle/high schools, which may indicate issues with the transition and continuity of learning as students progress through the grade levels. Additionally, the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across all 3 schools suggest these institutions serve a relatively disadvantaged student population, which could contribute to the academic challenges observed, particularly at the secondary level. Overall, the Southwestern-Jefferson County Con school district in the 47243 zip code area has a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with the elementary school standing out as a bright spot in the data.
