Summary

Eastwood Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 425 students in grades K-6 in Elkhart, Indiana, which is part of the Elkhart Community Schools district. Despite spending significantly more per student than the district average, Eastwood Elementary consistently underperforms both the district and the state of Indiana on standardized tests, with only 29.18% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in ELA and 34.2% proficient in math, compared to 24.15% and 25.2% for the district, respectively.

Eastwood Elementary also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12% to 33.8% over the past few years, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population. Compared to nearby schools in the Elkhart Community Schools district, such as Riverview Elementary, Monger Elementary, and Pinewood Elementary, Eastwood Elementary performs significantly worse on academic measures.

The declining performance of Eastwood Elementary, with its statewide ranking dropping from 550 out of 1,031 schools in 2018-2019 to 682 out of 1,005 schools in 2024-2025, suggests that the school's high spending per student has not translated into improved student outcomes. This indicates a need for a comprehensive review of the school's practices and the implementation of effective strategies to address the unique challenges faced by the high-need student population at Eastwood Elementary.
