East Chicago Lighthouse Charter


Summary:

East Chicago Lighthouse Charter is a single elementary charter school serving grades K-8 in the city of East Chicago, Indiana. The school's data reveals significant challenges, with extremely low academic performance, high poverty and minority enrollment, and chronic absenteeism issues that have led to consistently poor rankings compared to other schools in the state.

East Chicago Lighthouse has a diverse student population, with over 95% of students being non-White and 100% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's test scores are alarmingly low, with proficiency rates less than half the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 13.9% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Indiana average of 38.6-42.6%.

Chronic absenteeism is a major issue at the school, with a rate of 40.9%, which is extremely high. This, combined with the school's low academic performance and high-poverty student population, has led to East Chicago Lighthouse Charter being ranked in the bottom 5% of Indiana elementary schools for the past three years. Significant interventions and support may be needed to help improve outcomes for the students at this struggling school.
