Summary:
There are 11 elementary schools in MSD Wayne Township, all serving grades PK–6, with about 8,215 students total — an average of roughly 747 per school and a range from 617 (Rhoades and Stout Field) to 847 (Robey). The district is rated 1 star and ranks 292 of 374 Indiana districts, in the 22nd percentile. Only two schools, Robey Elementary School and McClelland Elementary School, earned 3 stars in 2025–2026; four schools earned 0 stars: Chapel Glen Elementary School, North Wayne Elementary School, Garden City Elementary School, and Rhoades Elementary School.
Robey Elementary School is the strongest performer: highest proficiency in ELA (41.7%), Math (42.64%), Science (46.09%) and 5th grade Social Studies (49.06%), plus the lowest chronic absenteeism (10.8%) and lowest free/reduced lunch rate (54.31%). McClelland Elementary School is close behind (ELA 38.28%, Math 41.04%, Science 46.05%, social studies 38.6%) even with a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 69.34%, and it has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.9. The next closest school, Stout Field Elementary School, has a composite proficiency near 24.6%, so the gap between the top two and the rest is large. At the other end, Chapel Glen Elementary School (ELA 9.72%, Math 9.03%, Science 10.73%) and Garden City Elementary School (ELA 11.54%, Math 12.91%, Science 13.77%) have the lowest scores.
Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide issue: 7 of 11 schools are above the state rate of 16.7%, with the highest at North Wayne Elementary School (29.3%), Maplewood Elementary School (28.3%), Rhoades Elementary School (27.0%) and Garden City Elementary School (24.7%). Spending is not tied to results — Rhoades Elementary School spends the most ($15,139) yet scores low, and Chapel Glen Elementary School spends the least ($11,712) with the lowest achievement. Performance also swings by grade: Chapelwood Elementary School's 4th grade Math is 55.68% but its 6th grade Math is 6.31%. The clearest opportunities appear in early-grade ELA and 5th grade Math.
