Best Public Schools in Shipshewana, IN

Summary:

The city of Shipshewana, Indiana is home to two elementary schools: Shipshewana-Scott Elementary School and Meadowview Elementary School. While both schools serve the Westview School Corporation, Meadowview Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in the state.

Meadowview Elementary School is the clear standout, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 12th out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year. This is a significant improvement over its previous rankings of 16th and 90th in the past two years. In contrast, Shipshewana-Scott Elementary School is ranked 119th. Meadowview outperforms the Westview School Corporation and the state of Indiana in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels.

While both schools have a predominantly white student population, Shipshewana-Scott Elementary has a slightly higher percentage of minority students. Additionally, Shipshewana-Scott has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a greater need for additional support and resources. The significant difference in academic performance between the two schools suggests that factors beyond just district-level resources and policies may be at play, and further investigation into the allocation of resources and their impact would be valuable.
