Strong Performance Across Subjects
Over the five-year period, Rossville Schools consistently ranked well above average in several core subject areas:
English/Language Arts (ELA): Rossville’s statewide percentile rankings remained high across elementary, middle, and high school levels, often placing the district in the top quarter of Indiana school districts. In some grade levels and years, Rossville ranked among the top 10 percent statewide.
Science: Rossville showed particularly strong results, with district rankings frequently placing in the top tier compared to other public school districts.
Math: While math results showed some year-to-year fluctuations, Rossville generally remained competitive with peer districts and continued to outperform many schools with similar enrollment sizes.
What the Rankings Mean
The rankings compare Rossville to nearly 290 public school districts across Indiana. A lower numerical ranking indicates stronger performance. For example, a ranking of 10 means the district performed better than nearly all others in that category.
According to the data, Rossville often ranked ahead of neighboring and similar-sized districts in Clinton County and across the state, especially when results were averaged over multiple years rather than viewed in isolation.
Consistency Over Time
One of the key takeaways from the report is the importance of consistency. While many districts saw large swings in performance during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, Rossville maintained relatively steady results. Education analysts note that long-term trends are often a better indicator of district quality than any single test year.
The report also highlights Rossville’s ability to maintain strong performance across different student groups and grade levels, suggesting that instructional practices and curriculum alignment have remained stable during a challenging five-year period.
Looking Ahead
District leaders say the data will be used to guide future improvement efforts, particularly in areas where growth has slowed. While the report focuses on rankings and percentiles, officials emphasize that the ultimate goal remains student growth and readiness beyond standardized tests.
As Indiana schools continue to recover from pandemic-related disruptions, Rossville’s results place the district among those demonstrating stability, strong instruction, and competitive academic outcomes statewide.
