Elementary Schools in Wes-Del Community Schools

Summary:

The Wes-Del Community Schools district in Indiana is home to two elementary schools: Wes-Del Elementary School and Wes-Del Preschool. While both schools serve the same community, they exhibit notable differences in academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation.

Wes-Del Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 466 in 2022-2023 to 524 in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's ILEARN test scores consistently fall below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with its lowest performance in 4th grade English Language Arts. In contrast, Wes-Del Preschool does not have the same statewide ranking data, but it appears to have a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a smaller percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a less economically disadvantaged student population.

The financial and resource allocation data also reveals differences between the two schools. Wes-Del Elementary School spends $12,836 per student, which is higher than the $10,300 spent per student at Wes-Del Preschool. However, the elementary school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.9, compared to 15 at the preschool. These disparities suggest potential opportunities for the district to allocate resources more effectively to support student learning and address the academic challenges faced by Wes-Del Elementary School.
