Summary:
The Adelante Schools district in Indiana consists of a single public charter school, Emma Donnan Elementary and Middle, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 442 students.
Emma Donnan Elementary and Middle is a low-performing school, ranking 796 out of 1,005 Indiana elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on ILEARN assessments are significantly below the state averages in both English Language Arts (20.71%) and Math (28.8%), with little improvement observed over the past few years. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (86.2%) indicates a high-poverty student population, which may be contributing to the school's challenges.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $13,239, which is above the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 23.2, the school's performance remains low. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution, and there may be other factors, such as instructional practices, school leadership, or student support services, that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in the 2023-2024 school year is a concerning issue that may be impacting student learning and achievement.
