Granville Wells Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jamestown, Indiana, serving around 400 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Western Boone County Com School District, which is ranked 23rd out of 381 school districts in the state.

Granville Wells stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, particularly in Math, where 61.39% of students were proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 58.82% for the district and 52.4% statewide. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.8 to 20.2 over the past three years, which may contribute to its success. However, Granville Wells has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.25%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, and has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.3% in 2020-2021 to 12.0% in 2022-2023, which are areas worth exploring further.

Compared to nearby schools, Granville Wells generally outperforms schools in the Lebanon Community School Corp and South Montgomery Com School Corp on test scores, particularly in Math. However, some schools like Pittsboro Elementary and North Salem Elementary in the North West Hendricks Schools district also demonstrate strong academic performance, providing valuable context for Granville Wells' achievements.

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.
