Summary

Model Elementary School is a K–4 school with 474 students in Goshen, Indiana, the largest of the elementary schools in Goshen Community Schools, serving a predominantly low-income community where 65.2% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025.

Attendance is a genuine standout strength. Chronic absenteeism at Model Elementary School is 9.8%, the lowest of any Goshen district elementary and less than half the district rate of 22.0% and well under Indiana's 16.7%; it also improved from 13.3% the year before. Achievement is more mixed. Math proficiency is 45.95% against the district's 40.04%, while English language arts sits at 28.65% against the district's 35.38% — a 17.3-point ELA–math gap that is the widest among Goshen's elementaries. The grade-level picture is sharply split: 4th-grade math reaches 55.06%, above both district and state averages and the highest among the five Goshen elementaries, while 3rd-grade ELA at 23.96% is the lowest in that peer group and 16.8 points below the state.

Comparisons matter here. Chamberlain Elementary School serves a higher-poverty population (80.1% free/reduced lunch) yet outscores Model in all three subjects, so demographics alone do not explain Model's results. New Paris Elementary School, in Fairfield Community Schools, posts far higher scores with lower per-student spending. Model spends $12,384 per student — the least of any Goshen elementary — with a 14.7:1 student–teacher ratio and ranks 658 of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (35th percentile, 2 stars), up from the 20th percentile in 2017–2018. The clearest actionable signal is 3rd-grade ELA: it is not explained by attendance and is the metric most disconnected from the school's otherwise-improving profile.
