Summary

Delaware Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 349 students in grades K-6 in Evansville, Indiana, which is part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation district. Despite its relatively high per-student spending, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Indiana elementary schools, with significantly below-average academic performance on ILEARN tests across all grade levels and subject areas.

Contributing factors to Delaware Elementary's struggles include high poverty rates, with 77-90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 18-28% over the past 5 years. These challenges appear to disproportionately impact the school's economically disadvantaged student population. When compared to nearby Stringtown Elementary School, which is just 2.6 miles away, Delaware Elementary significantly underperforms on academic measures.

Notably, Delaware Elementary's academic performance has remained stagnant or even declined over the past decade, with no clear signs of improvement. This suggests the school may be facing significant obstacles in addressing the needs of its student population. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, addressing barriers to student learning, and providing targeted support to the school's most vulnerable students.
