Lakeside Elementary School

Summary:

Lakeside Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 555 students in grades K-4 in the MSD Warren Township district in Indianapolis, Indiana. Despite its location, Lakeside Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom 20% of Indiana elementary schools over the past decade, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Some key factors that differentiate Lakeside Elementary include its significantly higher percentage of African American students (65.95%) compared to surrounding schools and the state average, as well as very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.2% to 38% over the past 3 years. Academically, Lakeside's test scores on the ILEARN assessments are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.13% of Lakeside students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 19.41% for the district and 38.6-41.8% statewide. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.48% to 79.28% over the past 3 years.

Interestingly, the nearby Hawthorne Elementary School, Pleasant Run Elementary School, Eastridge Elementary School, and Sunny Heights Elementary School all have similar demographic profiles and performance challenges as Lakeside Elementary, suggesting that the issues facing this school are reflective of broader challenges within the MSD Warren Township district. Addressing these systemic issues will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach targeting the root causes of the school's underperformance.

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.
