North White Elementary School

Summary:

North White Elementary School is a public elementary school in Monon, Indiana, serving 433 students in grades K-5 and part of the North White School Corporation, which is ranked 319 out of 381 school districts in the state.

North White Elementary School faces several challenges, including a student population that is 48.96% Hispanic, significantly higher than nearby schools. The school consistently underperforms the state and district averages on ILEARN assessments, with only 17.67% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 38.6%. High rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 1.7% to 18.6%, and over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch indicate significant economic disadvantages among the student body. Despite spending around $8,500 per student, the school's performance has declined from a 3-star rating in 2017-2018 to a 1-star rating in recent years, lagging behind higher-performing nearby schools like Frontier Elementary, Eastern Pulaski Elementary School, and Van Rensselaer Elementary School.

The significant performance gap between North White Elementary School and the surrounding higher-performing schools suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes. Addressing the challenges of high-needs student population, low academic performance, and high chronic absenteeism rates through data-driven, evidence-based approaches and collaborating with the more successful nearby schools could be crucial in providing a better educational experience for the students of North White 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.
