Eastwood Elementary faces several challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (64.83%) than the more diverse student populations at schools like Monger Elementary and Riverview Elementary. Eastwood's test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 22.51% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to 22.15% for the Elkhart Community Schools district. The school also has higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.7% to 21.7% over the past three years, and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 32.43% to 44.37%.

Eastwood Elementary's performance has declined relative to other schools in the state, with its statewide ranking dropping from 550 out of 1,031 Indiana elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 797 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024. The school's student-teacher ratio has also increased from 11.3 in 2020-2021 to 16.4 in 2022-2023, which may be a contributing factor to the lower performance. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and support could help improve the school's overall outcomes.

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.
