Jac-Cen-Del Elementary School

Q: Is Jac-Cen-Del Elementary School a good school?

Jac-Cen-Del Elementary School ranks 493 rd of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Jac-Cen-Del Elementary School is a public elementary school in Osgood, Indiana, serving around 390 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Jac-Cen-Del Community School Corporation. While the school generally performs better than the district and state on ILEARN assessments, particularly in math, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years and underperforms compared to many nearby schools like Greensburg Elementary, Batesville Intermediate School, and South Ripley Elementary School.

One of Jac-Cen-Del Elementary's strengths is its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, which is lower than many surrounding schools and the state average, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. However, the school has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 55.13% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to its challenges. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 6.8% is lower than the state average, which is a positive indicator.

While Jac-Cen-Del Elementary has some bright spots, such as its math performance, the school's declining statewide ranking and underperformance compared to nearby schools suggest areas for improvement. Addressing these issues could help the school better serve its students and community, ensuring they receive the high-quality education they deserve.

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.
