Best Public Schools in DeMotte, IN

Summary:

The city of DeMotte, Indiana is home to two elementary schools - DeMotte Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade and are part of the Kankakee Valley School Corp and North Newton School Corp districts.

While neither school stands out as a clear standout, the data reveals some interesting insights. DeMotte Elementary has a larger student enrollment of 593 students compared to Lincoln Elementary's 268 students. Academically, both schools have mixed performance, with some grade levels exceeding district and state averages in ILEARN/English Language Arts and Math, while others fall below. However, Lincoln Elementary has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 25% compared to DeMotte's 13.8%, which could impact student learning.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as both schools have relatively high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families. Funding levels are similar between the two schools, but DeMotte Elementary has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 15:1 compared to Lincoln's 15.2:1. Lastly, both schools have a predominantly white student population, with low representation of other racial/ethnic groups, suggesting a need to promote diversity and inclusivity within the school communities.
