Morocco Elementary School

Summary:

Morocco Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-6 in the North Newton School Corp district, with 139 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.1. Despite a high ranking in the past, the school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, currently sitting at 664th out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools.

Morocco Elementary faces significant challenges, including a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (ranging from 56.64% to 63.31% in recent years), declining academic performance (with proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math dropping from the high 30s and 40s to the mid-20s and 30s), and increasing chronic absenteeism (rising from 6.7% to 13.4%). When compared to nearby schools in the North Newton district, such as Lincoln Elementary School and Lake Village Elementary School, Morocco Elementary generally underperforms.

Additionally, the school has seen a shift in its racial demographics, with a slight increase in the percentage of Hispanic students and a corresponding decrease in the percentage of White students. Despite increased per-student spending, from $10,365 in 2019-2020 to $11,941 in 2021-2022, the school has not been able to reverse these negative trends, suggesting that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes at Morocco Elementary School.

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.
