Best Public Schools in Culver, IN

Summary:

The city of Culver, Indiana is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Culver Elementary School and Culver Community Middle/High School. While Culver Elementary School is a standout performer, outpacing district and state averages in academic proficiency, Culver Community Middle/High School has struggled, with proficiency rates below the district and state in many subject areas and a declining statewide ranking.

Culver Elementary School boasts impressive academic achievements, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 44.07% to 63.27% across grade levels, outperforming both the Culver Community Schools Corp district and the state averages. The school maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top half of Indiana elementary schools. In contrast, Culver Community Middle/High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 231st in 2022-2023 to 325th in 2023-2024, and holds a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the bottom quarter of Indiana high schools.

The data also reveals that both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 63.37% for Culver Elementary School and 62.12% for Culver Community Middle/High School. This factor may contribute to the academic performance and attendance issues observed, particularly at the middle/high school level. While the district-wide spending per student and student-teacher ratios are similar between the two schools, the data suggests that Culver Community Middle/High School has significant room for improvement to address its academic and attendance challenges.
