Wes-Del Community Schools

Summary:

The Wes-Del Community Schools district in Indiana operates three schools: two elementary schools (Wes-Del Elementary School and Wes-Del Preschool) and one middle/high school (Wes-Del Middle/Senior High School). The district's performance is mixed, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.

Wes-Del Elementary School is a standout, outperforming the district and state averages in math proficiency across all grade levels, particularly in 3rd grade. The school also demonstrates strong performance in science and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency in 5th grade. In contrast, Wes-Del Middle/Senior High School shows higher ELA proficiency rates in 8th and 7th grades compared to the district and state, but the district's overall performance in ILEARN and SAT assessments is below the state averages.

The district faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools and lower academic performance in the 2024-2025 school year compared to the previous year. Additionally, the district's spending per student varies, with the highest spending at the middle/high school level. Addressing these areas through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on improving student learning outcomes should be the district's priorities moving forward.
