Indiana Digital Elementary

Summary:

Indiana Digital Elementary is a public virtual elementary school serving grades K-6 in Modoc, Indiana, which is part of the Union School Corporation district. The school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 838 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 973 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, with a 0-star rating.

Compared to nearby schools like Union Elementary School, Indiana Digital Elementary has a more diverse student population with higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.8% in 2021-2022 to 18.9% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the 34.6% rate at Union Elementary. Academically, Indiana Digital Elementary consistently underperforms the Union School Corporation and the state averages in ILEARN test scores for English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels, with only 12.02% of students proficient or better in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to 14.94% for the district and 38.6-41.8% for the state.

While Indiana Digital Elementary has seen a decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 78.04% in 2020-2021 to 29.72% in 2022-2023, the school's spending per student has fluctuated, ranging from $761 in 2018-2019 to $6,173 in 2021-2022, which is lower than the $7,527 spent per student at Union Elementary School. These challenges, along with the school's declining academic performance compared to nearby schools like Wilbur Wright Elementary, Cowan Elementary, and Selma Elementary, suggest that Indiana Digital Elementary may need additional support and resources to improve the quality of education for its students.

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.
