Adelaide De Vaney Elementary School

Q: Is Adelaide De Vaney Elementary School a good school?

Adelaide De Vaney Elementary School ranks 609 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Adelaide De Vaney Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 437 students in grades PK-5 in Terre Haute, Indiana, which is part of the Vigo County School Corp. While the school generally outperforms the district average on state assessments, it faces some unique challenges compared to nearby schools.

Adelaide De Vaney has a higher percentage of white students (72.77%) and students of two or more races (14.87%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 65-90% white students. The school also performs better on ILEARN math assessments, with 42.31% of students proficient or better, compared to 33.43% for the district. However, Adelaide De Vaney has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (16.2%) and a larger percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (57.67%) than many of its neighbors, such as Dixie Bee Elementary School and Lost Creek Elementary School.

While Adelaide De Vaney's performance has fluctuated over the years, with the school ranking as high as 243 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2020-2021 and as low as 609 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, it generally lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools in terms of test scores and chronic absenteeism. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement, potentially due to the higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students it serves.

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.
