Summary

Klondike Elementary School is a public elementary school located in West Lafayette, Indiana, serving 932 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Tippecanoe School Corporation, which is ranked 77 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Klondike Elementary consistently outperforms the Tippecanoe School Corporation and the state of Indiana in ILEARN test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (50.75%), Math (54.58%), and Science (53.8%) significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's 5th-grade students, in particular, excel, with proficiency rates exceeding 50% in English Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies. However, Klondike has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.3% in 2021-2022 to 17.8% in 2023-2024, an area the school should focus on improving.

Compared to nearby schools, Burnett Creek Elementary, another Tippecanoe School Corporation school, consistently outperforms Klondike in test scores, ranking among the top 10% of Indiana elementary schools. In contrast, schools in the Lafayette School Corporation, such as Glen Acres, Edgelea, and Murdock Elementary, generally have lower test scores and higher rates of free and reduced lunch recipients compared to Klondike. Despite these differences, Klondike's per-student spending has increased, and its student-teacher ratio remains stable, indicating a commitment to investing in the school's resources.
