Eastside Elementary School

Summary:

Eastside Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Anderson, Indiana, serving grades K-4 with a student population of 511. The school is part of the Anderson Community School Corporation, which is ranked 328 out of 381 school districts in Indiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastside Elementary consistently outperforms the Anderson Community School Corporation in ILEARN test scores for English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels, with 31.68% of Eastside students proficient or better in ELA compared to 18% for the district. However, the school faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36% and a high percentage of students (77.3%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, Eastside Elementary generally outperforms other nearby schools in the Anderson Community School Corporation, such as Erskine Elementary and Anderson Elementary, in terms of test scores and school rankings.

Interestingly, Eastside Elementary spends more per student ($13,459 in 2021-2022) compared to the district average, which may suggest a greater investment in resources and support for the school. However, the school's relatively low performance compared to the state average suggests that these resources may not be fully effective or efficiently utilized. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and implementing targeted interventions for the school's unique student population could be key areas of focus for improving student outcomes at Eastside Elementary.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
