Summary

Mary Feeser Elementary School is a PK–5 school of about 470 students in Elkhart, Indiana, part of Elkhart Community Schools. Families looking at this school should know it is in the middle of a real, multi-year climb: it has gained 20 percentile points in four years (from the 15th to the 35th percentile), moved up 207 rank positions, and earned its first 2-star ratings in the last two cycles after eight straight years at 1 star.

Compared with the nine nearby Elkhart district schools in this comparison, Mary Feeser produces the second-best proficiency results — behind only Riverview Elementary School — while spending the least per student ($11,184, about $1,150 below the peer average). Its ELA proficiency (28.9%) is 9.8 points above the peer average, math (39.7%) is 12.8 points above, and science (32.1%) is 9.2 points above. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 34.2% to 18.5%, well below the district's 28.2%. Note that the school remains below Indiana averages in most subjects, and about two-thirds of Indiana elementary schools still rank higher.

Fifth grade is the standout: it is the only grade band where Mary Feeser exceeds the state in both ELA (44.1 vs. 42.2) and math (46.6 vs. 42.0), and it beats Riverview Elementary School in every subject tested at that grade. The earliest grades are the clearest opportunity — third-grade reading (22.2) and math (29.0) are well below state averages. For comparison, Horizon Elementary School in Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp ranks at the 94th percentile with 5 stars, showing how wide the absolute gap remains. Two cautions: a sharp one-year drop in free/reduced lunch (68.1% to 52.3%) and a large student–teacher ratio change (21.4 to 16.0) look more like reporting changes than trends.
