Summary:
The MSD Warren Township school district in Indiana is home to 9 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This diverse district faces significant challenges, with wide disparities in academic performance and high levels of economic disadvantage among its student population.
A few schools stand out in the data. Lowell Elementary has the highest overall test scores, with 36.9% of students proficient or better in Math and 35.63% proficient in 4th grade ELA, far exceeding the district averages. Pleasant Run Elementary also shines, with the highest Math proficiency rates at 34.23% across all grades. Meanwhile, Eastridge Elementary spends the most per student at $14,295 and has relatively strong test scores, particularly in Math.
However, the data also reveals significant challenges facing the district. All schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.8%, and free/reduced lunch rates range from 64.27% to 80.5%, indicating widespread economic disadvantage. Test score disparities are stark, with Lowell's 36.9% Math proficiency rate contrasting sharply with just 19.9% at Grassy Creek Elementary. Addressing these systemic issues will require a comprehensive approach to improve instructional quality, student supports, and equitable resource allocation across the district.
