Summary

Elwood Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in Elwood, Indiana, which is part of the Elwood Community School Corporation. With 426 students, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Elwood Intermediate School's test scores on the ILEARN assessments are consistently low compared to the state averages. In 2024-2025, only 17.81% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 40.3-41.4%. In math, the school's proficiency rate was 25.13%, compared to the state average of 39.7-51.5%. This underperformance is evident when comparing Elwood Intermediate to nearby schools, such as Edgewood Elementary School, which has significantly higher test scores in both subjects.

Additionally, Elwood Intermediate School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.88% to 70.66% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this has not translated into improved academic performance. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as improving attendance and providing targeted academic interventions, will be crucial for enhancing student outcomes at Elwood Intermediate School.
