Study Elementary School

Summary:

Study Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 292. 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.

Study Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Indiana elementary schools, with proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 10.85% of students were proficient in ELA and 9.3% in Math, compared to 28.81% and 25.36% for the district, respectively. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.7% to 36% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the district average. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (86.99% to 90.15%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Harrison Hill Elementary, Bloomingdale Elementary, and Weisser Park Elementary, generally perform better academically than Study Elementary School, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. However, these schools also have higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that socioeconomic status alone does not fully explain the academic performance differences. Weisser Park Elementary, in particular, stands out with significantly higher proficiency rates (46.35% in ELA and 42.98% in Math) and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, despite serving a student population with a similar socioeconomic profile to Study Elementary.

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.
