Osolo Elementary School

Summary:

Osolo Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Elkhart, Indiana, with around 490 students. The school is part of the Elkhart Community Schools district, which is ranked 303 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Osolo Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 22.6% to 42.5%, consistently lower test scores on ILEARN assessments compared to the district and state averages, and a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.07% to 75.92%. Despite relatively high per-student spending, the school's academic performance remains poor compared to the district and state. When comparing Osolo to nearby schools, Roosevelt STEAM Academy and Pinewood Elementary have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, while Mary Daly Elementary, Beardsley Elementary, and Mary Beck Elementary all have significantly lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.

Overall, Osolo Elementary's performance suggests that addressing the root causes of its challenges, such as improving student engagement, providing targeted interventions, and addressing socioeconomic barriers, may be necessary to drive meaningful improvements at the school. While the school's performance is better than some of the district's lowest-performing schools, it still lags behind the district and state averages, indicating that more work is needed to ensure all students at Osolo Elementary receive a high-quality education.

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.
