Edgelea Elementary School

Q: Is Edgelea Elementary School a good school?

Edgelea Elementary School ranks 413 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Edgelea Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lafayette, Indiana, serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Lafayette School Corporation district. Despite serving a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, Edgelea consistently outperforms the district and state in academic achievement, making it a standout school in the area.

Edgelea Elementary's academic performance is particularly impressive, with significantly higher ILEARN test scores in both English Language Arts and Math compared to the Lafayette School Corporation and the state of Indiana. In the 2023-2024 school year, 42.59% of Edgelea students were proficient or better in ELA, and 51.85% were proficient or better in Math, far exceeding the district's 30.05% in ELA and 29.98% in Math. This strong academic performance is even more noteworthy given the school's relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 52.71% to 64.55% over the past three years.

Edgelea Elementary's student population is also becoming more diverse, with a growing percentage of Hispanic and multiracial students. This shift in demographics is in contrast to some of the nearby schools, such as Glen Acres Elementary, Oakland Elementary, and Thomas Miller Elementary, which have lower test scores and higher rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced-price lunch recipients. Edgelea's ability to maintain its strong academic performance despite these demographic changes is a testament to the quality of education it provides.

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.
