Summary

Wallace Elementary School is a K–5 school in Kokomo, Indiana, serving roughly 360 students as part of the Kokomo School Corporation, a district ranked 278th of 374 in Indiana (26th percentile, 1 star). Wallace itself ranks 349th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — 66th percentile, 3 stars — a clear bright spot inside its district.

Academically, Wallace performs far above its district in every subject. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 49.09% in English Language Arts, 53.33% in Math, 37.5% in Science, and 57.63% in 5th-grade Social Studies, compared with district rates of 24.53%, 25.12%, and 29.07%. Among nearby Kokomo city schools, only Maple Crest STEM Elementary School is comparable or slightly higher in ELA and Math, while Wallace leads in 5th-grade Social Studies. Wallace dramatically outperforms Sycamore Elementary School, Elwood Haynes Elementary School, Lafayette Park Elementary School, and Pettit Park School. It also beats Western Intermediate School and Taylor Elementary School in every listed subject, though Northwestern Elementary School edges it in ELA and Science. Fifth grade is a standout, and Science has declined from 54.55% in 2022–2023 to 37.5%, making it the clearest improvement area.

Attendance is a major strength: chronic absenteeism was 14.8% in 2024–2025, below the district's 29.1% and the state's 16.7%, and much better than most Kokomo city peers. With 51.11% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, Wallace serves a moderate-need population but still outperforms schools with similar poverty, such as Boulevard Elementary School. Spending was $11,267 per student in 2023–2024, with a 16:1 student-teacher ratio. Overall, Wallace offers strong ELA, Math, 5th-grade, and attendance results, with 4th grade and Science as the areas to watch.
