Indian Village Elementary School

Summary:

Indian Village Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with a student population of 372. The school is part of the Fort Wayne Community Schools district, which is ranked 281 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Indian Village Elementary School faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 24.4% to 25.9% over the past three school years, significantly underperforming the district and state averages on ILEARN assessments across all grade levels and subject areas, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.75% to 74.19% over the past three school years. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Indiana elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Interestingly, nearby schools like Maplewood Elementary School and Jeff H Towles Intermediate School have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, while Weisser Park Elementary School and Lindley Elementary School have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance.

Despite the increased spending per student at Indian Village Elementary School, from $10,027 in 2018-2019 to $11,889 in 2021-2022, this has not yet led to improved academic outcomes for the school. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.1 to 18.7 over the past three school years, suggests that the school may have sufficient staffing resources, but the data does not indicate why this has not resulted in better academic performance. Overall, Indian Village Elementary School faces significant challenges that require a deeper understanding and targeted interventions to address the disparities in performance compared to its nearby counterparts.

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.
