Summary

Elwood Haynes Elementary School in Kokomo, Indiana, is a PK–5 school at 910 S Cooper serving 334 students in the Kokomo School Corporation. It has ranked in the bottom decile of Indiana elementary schools for years — 953 of 1,015 (6th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–2026, after 896/1,005 in 2024–2025 and 965/1,011 in 2023–2024 — placing it below even its district's 278-of-374 profile. It also serves a high-need population: 86.83% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, the highest rate among nearby schools.

Academics are the main concern, especially reading. In 2025–2026, all-grades English Language Arts proficiency was 4.35%, the lowest among nearby schools with reported data; Maple Crest STEM Elementary School was 50%, Wallace Elementary School 49.09%, Lafayette Park Elementary School 21.18%, Sycamore Elementary School 15.2%, and Pettit Park School 10.4%. Math proficiency was 12.95%, above Pettit Park's 11.88% but far below Wallace (53.33%), Howard Elementary School (53.66%), and Maple Crest STEM (55.56%). Science was a relative bright spot at 32.5%, above the district's 29.07% and several neighbors, though below the state's 4th-grade rate of 43.8%. Third-grade ELA (1.89%) and fifth-grade math (6.52%) are especially low.

Chronic absenteeism was 30.1% in 2024–2025 — improved from 62.8% in 2021–2022 but still nearly double the state's 16.7% and above the district's 29.1%. Meanwhile, per-student spending reached $20,800 (highest nearby) and the student-teacher ratio of 10.7 was the lowest among nearby schools, so staffing and funding look favorable even as outcomes lag. Nearby schools show the area is not uniformly low-performing: Northwestern Elementary School ranked 268/1,015 with 4 stars and 5.3% absenteeism, and Wallace earned 3 stars. The data point to concentrated need, with early literacy, attendance, and middle-grade math as the clearest priorities.
