Heritage Elementary School

Summary:

Heritage Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Monroeville, Indiana, serving 508 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the East Allen County Schools district, which is ranked 165 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heritage Elementary generally performs better on ILEARN assessments compared to the East Allen County Schools district and the state of Indiana averages. For example, in 2023-2024, 40.19% of Heritage Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.01% for the district. In math, 40% of Heritage students were proficient or better, compared to 35.21% for the district. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.2% in 2020-2021 to 21.3% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern. Heritage Elementary also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.04% in 2020-2021 to 61.42% in 2022-2023, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the state average.

When compared to the nearby schools in the East Allen County Schools district, such as John S Irwin Elementary School, Jeff H Towles Intermediate School, and Merle J Abbett Elementary School, Heritage Elementary generally outperforms them on ILEARN assessments, particularly in math. This suggests that Heritage Elementary may be providing a stronger academic program for its students. However, the school's racial makeup is notably different from the nearby schools, with a higher percentage of white students, which could be an interesting area to explore further.

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.
