Summary

Veterans Elementary School at Mundell is a public elementary school in Hobart, Indiana, serving 588 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the School City of Hobart district, which is ranked 157 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Veterans Elementary has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.3% in 2021-2022 to 17.8% in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance remains a concern. Its test scores in ILEARN (Indiana's standardized assessment) are generally lower than the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (35.13%) and Math (43.33%) were below the School City of Hobart (39.06% and 43.13%) and state (40.3% and 51.5%) averages. Additionally, Veterans Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.28% in 2021-2022 to 66.33% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the district average of 52.71% for 2023-2024.

When compared to other elementary schools in the same district, Veterans Elementary generally performs worse on standardized tests. For instance, in 2024-2025, Joan Martin Elementary and Liberty Elementary had higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (38.18% and 33.33%, respectively) and Math (48.99% and 60.49%, respectively) compared to Veterans Elementary. Despite the higher spending per student at Veterans Elementary ($10,076 in 2023-2024) compared to the School City of Hobart district average ($10,901 for 2023-2024), the school's academic performance remains below the district and state levels, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.
