Best Public Schools in Elwood, IN


Summary:

The city of Elwood, Indiana is home to 3 public schools serving grades PK-12, all operated by the Elwood Community School Corp. While the district offers education from preschool through high school, the data reveals a concerning pattern of consistently low academic performance and other systemic challenges across all 3 schools.

Elwood Junior-Senior High School, the only high school in the district, has the largest enrollment but struggles with extremely low proficiency rates, with just 14.67% of students proficient in ELA and 11.11% in Math. The school also faces high chronic absenteeism at 36.1%, despite maintaining a relatively strong 91.9% graduation rate. Elwood Elementary School and Elwood Intermediate School serve younger students, but also rank in the bottom third of Indiana schools and have 1-star ratings, with proficiency rates well below state averages.

Across the district, the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. High rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 24.4% to 36.1%, are likely contributing to the low academic performance. While spending per student is relatively consistent, the data suggests systemic issues within the Elwood Community School Corp that require a comprehensive review and improvement plan to provide a high-quality education for all students.
