of 1,015 Indiana Elementary Schools

Better than 19% of Indiana elementary schools

Summary

Pinewood Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 503 students on Elkhart's east side, at 3420 E Bristol St in Elkhart, Indiana, and it belongs to Elkhart Community Schools. For 2025–2026 the school ranked 825th of 1,015 Indiana schools — the 19th percentile, with 1 star — its lowest percentile in the decade of history available. That continues a long slide from 3 stars and the 55th percentile in 2015–16; the brief bright spot of a 2-star year in 2023–24 has not held.

Pinewood's clearest strengths are attendance and science. Chronic absenteeism was 12.2% in 2024–25, less than half the district's 28.2% and below the state's 16.7%, and it has fallen 17 points in four years. Among the Elkhart Community Schools elementaries, only Eastwood Elementary School (11.3%) is lower. In science, 30.91% of students were proficient — about 1.6 times the district's 19.32% — and science is the only subject gaining, up from 21.95% in 2022–23. That 30.91% also edges out higher-ranked Roosevelt STEAM Academy (28.13%) and is close to Mary Feeser Elementary School (32.05%).

The concern is reading. ELA proficiency was 19.29%, below the district's 20.62%, and 3rd grade stood at just 10.26% — roughly half the district and about a quarter of the state's 40.8% — while 4th and 5th grades reached 23.64% and 26.56%. Math (28.28%) beats the district's 24.73% but ranks 7th of 9 local Elkhart elementaries. Pinewood also has the highest student-teacher ratio in that group (17.9) and the second-lowest spending ($11,253 per student). The most striking comparison is Riverview Elementary School, 1.1 miles away: it serves a similar population and has slightly worse attendance, spends only about $600 more per student, yet posts more than double Pinewood's ELA and math proficiency and ranks at the 47th percentile.
