Summary

Elwood Intermediate School serves about 400 students in grades 3–6 in Elwood, Indiana, and is part of Elwood Community School Corp, a district ranked 318th of 374 Indiana districts. The school ranked 824th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 19th percentile with a 1-star rating. That rating is not a one-year dip: from 2015–2016 through 2025–2026, the school has earned 1 star every year, with percentile ranks between 16 and 23. Recent proficiency rates are 19.9% in English language arts, 26.2% in math, 22.66% in science, and 28.87% in 5th-grade social studies.

Context matters. In 2024–2025, 73% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch, up from 57.45% in 2022–2023 — the highest rate among nearby schools with reported data. Chronic absenteeism was 20.1%, above Indiana's 16.7% but below the district's 27.8%. Notably, the school has the lowest student-teacher ratio in its comparison group (12.5) and spends $10,106 per student, more than several nearby schools that post higher test scores. Compared with neighbors, Park Elementary School and Frankton Elementary School both rank higher and score roughly 9–17 points higher in ELA and math, despite Elwood's higher absenteeism and poverty. Yet Elwood outperforms Edgewood Elementary School and Virtual Preparatory Academy of Indiana at Madison-Grant K-5 in ELA, math, and social studies, even though its poverty rate is far higher.

Subject results vary. Math (26.2%) is stronger than ELA (19.9%), while science (22.66%) is the lowest among nearby schools with reported data. Proficiency also drops as students move up: ELA falls from 26.8% in 3rd grade to 15.53% in 6th, and 6th-grade science is 17.48% versus the state's 41.2%. ELA and math have stayed roughly flat in recent years, while science and social studies have improved from very low starting points. Gaps with Indiana averages are large and widen in grades 4–6, so the school's central challenge is turning relatively favorable staffing and spending into stronger reading, math, and science results.
