Bethel Park Elementary | pilotED Schools

Summary:

Bethel Park Elementary | pilotED Schools is a public charter elementary school serving 207 students in grades K-5 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The school has a predominantly African American and Hispanic student population, with a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Bethel Park Elementary has consistently struggled academically, with only 14.95% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 16.67% proficient in Math, significantly lower than the state averages. The school also faces high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching over 50% in recent years. When compared to nearby schools, such as Emma Donnan Elementary and Middle, Bethel Park Elementary is underperforming, with much lower proficiency rates in both subjects. The school's high concentration of students from low-income families, coupled with the lack of improvement over time, suggests that Bethel Park Elementary is facing systemic challenges that have not been effectively addressed.

The fluctuations in per-student spending and the high student-teacher ratio at Bethel Park Elementary indicate that the school may be facing challenges in providing adequate resources and staffing to support student learning and well-being. Addressing these issues, as well as the root causes of the academic and attendance challenges, will be crucial for improving student outcomes and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all at Adelante Schools, the district that oversees Bethel Park 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.
