The school comparison report allows you to compare school performance across schools with similar grade level compositions.

For comparison purposes, schools have been split into three groups based on the highest grade level served by that school (6th, 8th, and 12th). For example, a school serving students through grade 6 can be compared with other schools serving students through grade 6.

Columbia Elementary School is being compared to schools with 6th grade as the highest grade level.

A school's free and reduced lunch percentage indicates the percentage of students at each school who qualify for free and reduced lunch, based on household income guidelines. In addition to the ability to compare school performance across all Indiana schools, the school performance report also allows you to compare school performance across schools with similar student populations, specifically in terms of school grade level composition and free and reduced lunch eligibility.

For comparison purposes, schools have been split into three groups based on the highest grade level served by that school (6th, 8th, and 12th). Each group consists of four categories (0.0%-25.0%, 25.1%-50.0%, 50.1%-75.0%, and 75.1%-100.0% free and reduced lunch percentage). For example, a school serving students through grade 6 with a 15% free and reduced lunch percentage can be compared across other schools serving students through grade 6 with a free and reduced lunch percentage ranging from 0-25%.
