Summary

Prairie View Elementary School is a PK–4 school with 415 students in Goshen, Indiana, serving a high-poverty community as part of Goshen Community Schools. In 2025–26 it ranked #640 of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 37th percentile, with 2 stars — almost exactly matching its district's standing (#237 of 374, also 37th percentile and 2 stars). The school has performed better in some recent years: it reached the 59th percentile with 3 stars in 2018–19 and the 53rd percentile with 3 stars in 2021–22, but has since settled mostly into the 2-star range (47th percentile in 2023–24, 44th in 2024–25, and 37th in 2025–26).

Academically, Prairie View's clearest strength is math: 48.28% of all students met standards in 2025–26, above the district's 40.04% and second among nearby same-district Goshen schools only to Chamberlain Elementary School at 50.98%. English language arts (31.72%) and science (24.66%) both fell below district averages. The grade-level gap is striking: third graders scored 54.17% in math, above district and state and the best among nearby Goshen peers, while fourth graders lagged well behind in ELA (24.66%, versus the state's 42.2%), math, and science.

The school is comparatively well-resourced. It spent $14,413 per student in 2023–24 — the highest among nearby schools, ahead of Waterford Elementary School at $13,594 and far above Benton Elementary at $9,320 — and its student–teacher ratio of 12.1 is the lowest nearby. Free/reduced lunch participation rose to 72.05% in 2024–25. Chronic absenteeism at 15.1% is better than the district's 22.0% and the state's 16.7%, though Fairfield Community Schools sites run 6.8–8.2%. Compared with Concord South Side Elementary School, which has a similar poverty rate of 71.32%, Prairie View scores higher in all three subjects while having lower chronic absenteeism.
