Northview Elementary School

Q: Is Northview Elementary School a good school?

Northview Elementary School ranks 590 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Northview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Gas City, Indiana, serving grades 2-5 with a total enrollment of 623 students. The school is part of the Mississinewa Community School Corporation, which is ranked 223 out of 381 school districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northview Elementary faces several challenges, including a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (68.38% receive free or reduced-price lunch), higher chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 14.9% to 20.3%), and lower academic performance on ILEARN assessments compared to the state averages and nearby schools like Eastbrook North Elementary and Sweetser Elementary. The school's racial makeup is also significantly different from these nearby schools, with a higher percentage of white students (79.45%) and lower percentages of African American (1.44%) and Hispanic (7.22%) students.

Despite the higher per-student spending at Northview Elementary (ranging from $8,438 to $10,302 over the past few years), the school's academic performance is still lower than the state averages and some of the nearby schools, suggesting that factors other than funding may be influencing student outcomes. The school's leadership and the Mississinewa Community School Corporation should focus on addressing these issues through targeted interventions, such as improving attendance, providing additional academic support, and exploring ways to better support the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
