Summary

Lafayette Meadow School is a K–5 elementary school serving 604 students in Roanoke, Indiana, part of the 5-star MSD Southwest Allen County Schls, which ranks 32nd of 374 Indiana districts (91st percentile). The school itself ranked 78th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–26 — the 92nd percentile with 5 stars — its best result in the history shown, up from the 63rd percentile in 2015–16 and the 66th percentile in 2020–21. It is a top-tier school, but not the flagship of its own district: Aboite Elementary School (100th percentile) and Haverhill Elementary School (97th percentile) rank higher, with Deer Ridge Elementary (91st percentile) just behind.

Academics are strong, and math is the clearest strength. All-grades math proficiency is 72.13% versus the district’s 59.36%, with 3rd grade math at 76.60% and 5th grade math at 71.58%. All-grades ELA is 64.81% (district: 59.03%), including 5th grade ELA at 72.63%. The main internal weak spot is 4th grade ELA at 53.06%, below the district’s 58.64% but above the state’s 42.2%. Science (60.20%) is essentially at the district average, and 5th grade social studies (69.47%) beats district and state but ranks 4th among nearby same-district schools. Overall, Lafayette Meadow ranks 3rd among nearby schools in ELA, math, science, and overall percentile.

Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 0.3% in 2024–25, far below the district’s 0.7% and the state’s 16.7%. About 26.49% of students received free or reduced lunch, up from 21.60% in 2022–23, even as scores improved. Per-student spending is $11,116, and the student-teacher ratio of 15.3 is the highest among nearby schools. The school also outperforms nearby Roanoke Elementary School, which has a similar free/reduced lunch rate (29.35%) and lower spending ($9,418), in ELA (64.81% vs. 45.12%), math, science, social studies, and absenteeism (0.3% vs. 10.4%). It far outpaces nearby Fort Wayne Community Schools schools, where proficiency is mostly in the 19%–42% range.
