Summary

Elwood Haynes Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kokomo, Indiana, serving 365 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Kokomo School Corporation, which is ranked 273 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elwood Haynes Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Indiana elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating poor academic performance. The school struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 32.8%, and its students perform well below state and district averages on ILEARN assessments across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 14.38% of Elwood Haynes students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 27.53% for the Kokomo School Corporation and 40.3% statewide for 3rd grade. Additionally, Elwood Haynes has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.92% to 87.73% over the past few years.

When comparing Elwood Haynes to other elementary schools in the Kokomo area, such as Boulevard Elementary and Wallace Elementary, it is clear that Elwood Haynes is an outlier in terms of academic performance, with the nearby schools significantly outperforming it on ILEARN assessments. Despite spending significantly more per student ($20,800 in 2023-2024) than the nearby schools, which range from $9,607 to $15,583 per student, Elwood Haynes has not been able to translate this additional funding into improved academic outcomes.
