Maplewood Elementary School

Summary:

Maplewood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 641 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the MSD Wayne Township district, which is ranked 288 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maplewood Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently underperforming the district and state averages on ILEARN assessments, with only 14.43% of students proficient or better in ELA compared to 21.24% for the district and 38.6-41.8% statewide. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 27.5% to 38.2% over the past three years, and a high percentage of students (76.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While per-student spending has increased from $9,255 to $12,384 over the past three years, this has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes.

Maplewood's academic performance lags significantly behind nearby schools like McClelland Elementary and Westlake Elementary, which are also part of the MSD Wayne Township district. McClelland, in particular, outperforms Maplewood by a wide margin on ILEARN assessments. Addressing Maplewood's high chronic absenteeism rate and providing targeted interventions and support for its high percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students may be key to improving student outcomes at the school.

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.
