Summary:

Model Elementary School is a public elementary school in Goshen, Indiana, serving 499 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Goshen Community Schools district, which is ranked 236 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Model Elementary School is part of the Goshen Community Schools district, it consistently performs below the district average on academic measures. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (55.11%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 29.3% to 53.72% Hispanic students. Additionally, Model Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is generally lower than the Goshen Community Schools district average and the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.35% of students at Model Elementary School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 32.22% for the Goshen Community Schools district and 38.6% for the state. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (9.9% in 2022-2023) and a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (66.53% in 2022-2023) compared to the surrounding schools.

The analysis of Model Elementary School's data suggests that the school faces unique challenges, particularly in terms of its student demographics and academic performance, which may require targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes. The relatively lower spending per student at Model Elementary School ($11,216 in 2021-2022) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from $8,772 to $15,259 per student, may also be a factor in the school's academic performance, and it could be worth exploring whether additional resources or targeted funding could help improve student 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.
