Summary:

Washington Intermediate is an elementary school located in Washington, Indiana, serving grades 2-4 with a total enrollment of 445 students. The school is part of the Washington Community Schools district, which is ranked 217 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Intermediate faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (26.97%) compared to surrounding schools, which tend to have a predominantly white student population. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 31.2% in the 2021-2022 school year, much higher than the surrounding schools. Academically, Washington Intermediate consistently performs below the state and district averages in ILEARN assessments for English Language Arts and Math, with only 15.24% of students proficient or better in ELA in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district average of 24.23% and the state average of 38.6% for 3rd grade. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 84.99% in the 2020-2021 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to other schools in the same district, such as Veale Elementary and Washington Primary, Washington Intermediate consistently performs worse on academic measures. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Veale Elementary had 51.72% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to only 15.24% at Washington Intermediate. However, the school has shown some signs of improvement, with decreasing chronic absenteeism rates and increased per-student spending, suggesting that the district is investing more resources into the school. To continue this progress, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific needs of the student population and improve academic outcomes.

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.
