Lafayette School Corporation


Summary:

The Lafayette School Corporation in Indiana operates 11 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic need.

Among the standout schools in the district, Edgelea Elementary School consistently performs well, ranking in the top 25% of Indiana elementary schools for the past three years and boasting high proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math. Oakland Elementary School has also shown significant improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating on SchoolDigger over the past three years and having the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math among the elementary schools. Meanwhile, Murdock Elementary School maintains strong performance, with over 60% of students proficient or better in Math, despite a decline in its SchoolDigger rating.

However, the data also reveals significant variation in performance across the district, with some schools, such as Jefferson High School, struggling with proficiency rates below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. Additionally, high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12% to 30.2%, suggest that addressing attendance issues could be a key lever for improving overall academic performance in the district. The disparities in performance and resources across the schools also raise questions about equity and the need to ensure that all students have access to high-quality educational opportunities within the Lafayette School Corporation.
