Summary

Lasalle Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mishawaka, Indiana, serving 494 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the School City of Mishawaka district, which is ranked 240 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lasalle Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on ILEARN test scores, with only 20.22% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 23.6% in math, far below the district and state averages. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 34.2% in recent years, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Despite spending more per student than the district average, Lasalle's academic outcomes have not improved.

When comparing Lasalle to nearby schools in the same district, such as Beiger Elementary and Battell Elementary, those schools generally outperform Lasalle on academic measures. The performance gap is even more pronounced when comparing Lasalle to schools in the neighboring South Bend Community School Corporation district, such as Marshall Traditional and Monroe Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates despite serving similar high-poverty student populations.
