Summary

Mary Feeser Elementary School is a public elementary school in Elkhart, Indiana, serving 505 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Elkhart Community Schools district, which is ranked 293 out of 380 districts in the state.

Mary Feeser Elementary consistently underperforms the district and state averages on ILEARN tests, with only 29.56% of 3rd-grade students proficient in English Language Arts and 31.14% proficient in Math, compared to 24.15% and 25.2% for the district, and 40.3% and 51.5% statewide. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 33.8%, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite relatively high spending per student and a student-teacher ratio lower than nearby schools, the outcomes at Mary Feeser Elementary do not reflect the investment.

Interestingly, other schools within the Elkhart Community Schools district, such as Pinewood Elementary and Riverview Elementary, also struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism, suggesting district-wide challenges. However, some schools like Eastwood Elementary perform significantly better, indicating that there may be opportunities for improvement within the district. Additionally, Horizon Elementary, which is outside the Elkhart district, outperforms Mary Feeser and the district as a whole, suggesting that learning from the practices of higher-performing schools could be beneficial.
