Whiteland Elementary School

Summary:

Whiteland Elementary School is a public elementary school serving around 330 students in grades K-5 in Whiteland, Indiana, which is part of the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic achievement, with higher test scores in English Language Arts and Math compared to nearby schools. However, Whiteland Elementary has a less diverse student population, with a higher percentage of white students (83.03%) compared to other local schools like Grassy Creek Elementary (51.03% white) and Ray Crowe Elementary (60.11% white).

One of the standout metrics for Whiteland Elementary is its low chronic absenteeism rate of 4.4% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly lower than the 6.7% to 20.1% range seen at nearby schools. This suggests the school is effective in encouraging regular student attendance, which is a key factor in academic success. Additionally, Whiteland Elementary has a higher per-student spending of $11,429 in 2021-2022, compared to the $7,095 to $10,457 range at surrounding schools. This higher funding may contribute to the school's strong performance, though it's important to note that spending alone does not guarantee academic achievement.

Overall, Whiteland Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school within the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation, with consistently strong academic results, lower chronic absenteeism, and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools. However, the school's lack of racial diversity compared to its neighbors is an area that may warrant further investigation and consideration by school leaders and the community.

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.
