Coquillard Elementary School

Summary:

Coquillard Elementary School is a public elementary school in South Bend, Indiana, serving 343 students in grades PK-5. The school has a predominantly minority student population, with 65.89% African American, 15.74% Hispanic, and 10.5% two or more races. Unfortunately, Coquillard has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Coquillard faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 56.4% to 64.4% over the past 3 years, far exceeding the district average. The school's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is also extremely low compared to the district and state averages. In 2023-2024, only 7.03% of Coquillard students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 21.88% for the South Bend Community School Corp. In math, the proficiency rate was just 4.72% at Coquillard, versus 16.57% for the district. This performance gap is stark when compared to nearby schools, such as Kennedy Academy, which had proficiency rates of 50.54% in ELA and 48.01% in math for the same year.

Despite increased per-student spending, from $10,427 in 2018-2019 to $15,965 in 2021-2022, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Coquillard's academic outcomes have not improved. This suggests that factors beyond just staffing and funding, such as student engagement, family support, and instructional quality, may be contributing to the school's poor performance. Addressing these root causes will be crucial for improving outcomes at Coquillard and ensuring that all students in the South Bend Community School Corp have access to a high-quality education.

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.
