Hendry Park Elementary School

Q: Is Hendry Park Elementary School a good school?

Hendry Park Elementary School ranks 650 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Hendry Park Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Angola, Indiana, serving 365 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the MSD Steuben County school district, which is ranked 174 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Hendry Park shares the same school district as Pleasant Lake Elementary and Carlin Park Elementary, its performance lags significantly behind these schools. Hendry Park has a higher percentage of Hispanic students, a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, and lower test scores across all grade levels and subject areas compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.14% of Hendry Park students were proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to 38.89% at Pleasant Lake.

Hendry Park's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (61.37%), coupled with its lower spending per student ($10,531 in 2021-2022), suggests that the school may be facing challenges related to socioeconomic factors that could be impacting student performance. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate and implementing targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes could be crucial for Hendry Park Elementary School to reverse its declining performance and better serve its students.

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.
