Summary:

Maplewood Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 507 students in grades PK-5 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which is part of the Fort Wayne Community Schools district. The school faces significant challenges, with a high chronic absenteeism rate, consistently low test scores compared to district and state averages, and a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Maplewood Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate ranges from 20.2% to 25.5%, which is much higher than the state and district averages. On the ILEARN assessments, only 29.17% of Maplewood students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 28.81% for the district and 38.6% statewide for 3rd grade.

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.
