Summary:

Lafayette School Corporation enrolls about 7,090 students across 11 schools — eight elementary, two middle, and one high school — and the district overall ranks 243rd of 374 in Indiana (35th percentile, 2 stars). Elementary enrollment totals about 3,018, middle school about 2,030, and the single high school about 2,042. Every school is majority free/reduced lunch, ranging from 54.73% at Amelia Earhart Elementary School to 83.48% at Miami Elementary School.

Academic standouts include Oakland Elementary School, the district's top elementary for ILEARN all-grade proficiency (ELA 52.24, Math 53.73, Science 39.47) and a 3-star, 58th-percentile school, and Vinton Elementary School, the biggest improver — moving from 36th to 67th percentile and 3 stars, with the highest all-grade math score (61.38). Edgelea Elementary School is consistently strong at ELA 48.11 and Math 47.03 and has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism (15.1%), while Glen Acres Elementary School posts ELA 42.58, Math 45.93, and the top all-grade science score (40.45). At the other end, Miami Elementary (1 star, 22nd percentile) has the highest free/reduced lunch rate and 30.1% chronic absenteeism; Thomas Miller Elementary School has the highest absenteeism at 32.6%; Amelia Earhart fell from 45th to 21st percentile; Lafayette Tecumseh Junior High School is 1 star with low all-grade scores; and Jefferson High School, the only high school, trails the state on graduation rate (87.7% vs. 89.7%) and SAT Math (17.17% vs. 25.6%).

Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide challenge: the district average is 24.6% versus the state's 16.7%, and only Edgelea and Glen Acres fall below the state rate. Elementary schools generally outperform the upper grades, with both middle schools below the district's all-grade marks and Jefferson High below the state in SAT and graduation results. High achievement does not track simply with poverty, absenteeism, spending, or class size: Vinton and Oakland have high free/reduced lunch rates and elevated absenteeism yet post top scores, while Oakland spends the most ($14,483) and Glen Acres the least ($11,281) with the district's largest classes (17.1 students per teacher).
