Storer was the only Indiana Dept of Education Four Star School in Delaware county this past year and the teachers' dedication to our students' education is the reason why they have received the award so many times. With teachers who are willing to go the extra mile, a principal who knows each child by name -- while unwaveringly enforcing the rules -- and parents who truly care about "their" school, we all benefit. Thank you Storer staff and parents for making ours the BEST school in the county! School motto: Do the RIGHT thing!

I love Storer! I went there as a child and now my daughter is there. I wouldn't have it any other way! Everyone at the school is so friendly!

My daughter has gone here for 2 years and although it is a great school, there is no way there is 16 kids to 1 teacher. Both years there have been 30 kids in her class.

I love Storer! My kids have been going there for over 10 years. Mrs. Grubbs is the greatest principal...she is very interactive with the kids. She is always working late and back in early. She is truly devoted to this school!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Indiana used the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus (ISTEP+) assessment to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English/language arts and math, grades 4 and 6 in science, and in grades 5 and 7 in social studies. The ISTEP+ is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Indiana. The goal is for all students to score at the passing level on the test.

About the tests


Indiana uses the A through F School Grading System to assess the overall performance of a school. For the 2011-2012 school year, schools were graded based on performance and participation levels in state standardized tests and student growth using the Indiana Growth Model. In addition, high schools were graded on four-year (on-time) graduation rates and college and career readiness indicators including Advanced Placment exam results and industry certification exam results.

Rating legend

Average
Above
average

Our rating (from 1 to 10) reflects a school's overall performance. The higher the rating, the more likely the school will prepare your child for the future, so choose an above-average school (8-10) if possible. For average schools (4-7), do careful research and look for evidence that the school has high-quality programs. For below-average schools (1-3), take caution; a low-performing school may not provide the instruction or environment your child needs to learn, and you may need to supplement classroom lessons at home.

Academic rating

The academic rating is made up of equally-weighted parts: students' test scores, their academic growth (for elementary and middle schools) and their readiness for college (for high schools). The graphs below compare this school's results in each area to other schools in the city and state. Growth and college readiness ratings are coming soon, pending publication of 2012 data.
