Summary:
Winchester Village Elementary is a public elementary school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 619 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Perry Township Schools district, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Winchester Village Elementary has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 17.61% White, 32.15% African American, 20.68% Hispanic, 22.94% Asian, and 6.62% two or more races. However, this diversity does not translate to higher academic performance, as the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages in ILEARN test scores for English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 18.55% in ELA and 23.75% in Math, compared to the district's 38.95% and 37.48%, respectively. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 18.8% to 24.7% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Homecroft Elementary, Mary Bryan Elementary, and Southport Elementary, which have lower chronic absenteeism rates and tend to perform better on ILEARN tests.
The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Winchester Village Elementary, ranging from 84.78% to 88.75% over the past three school years, suggests that the school serves a lower-income community. This socioeconomic factor may be linked to the school's academic challenges, as research has shown a correlation between poverty and lower educational outcomes. Despite the higher per-student spending at Winchester Village Elementary, ranging from $9,729 to $11,524 over the past four school years, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's performance.
