Summary

Amelia Earhart Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Lafayette, IN with 455 students, part of Lafayette School Corporation, a district ranked 243rd of 374 in Indiana. Its current statewide picture is weak: in 2025–2026 it ranks 799th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (21st percentile, 1 star), a sharp drop from 550th of 1,005 (45th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025. From 2015–2016 through 2021–2022 the school generally sat between the 49th and 57th percentiles, so this is a multi-year slide rather than a one-year blip.

Among nearby schools, Amelia Earhart Elementary School now has the lowest rank of its same-district peers — Vinton Elementary School (67th), Oakland Elementary School (58th), Edgelea Elementary School (51st), Murdock Elementary School (31st), Thomas Miller Elementary School (24th) and Miami Elementary School (22nd). Several of those schools improved year over year while Amelia Earhart fell. Notably, Amelia Earhart has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate among nearby same-district schools at 54.73%, yet sits at or near the bottom in proficiency. Edgelea, 0.75 miles away, has a higher free/reduced lunch rate (58.11%), slightly lower per-student spending ($12,355 vs $12,633) and a similar student-teacher ratio (14.6 vs 15.1), but far higher proficiency (ELA 48.11 vs 27.6, math 47.03 vs 29.69).

Proficiency fell steeply from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA all grades from 35.67 to 27.6, math from 45.61 to 29.69, and science from 41.33 to 26.26 — declines the district did not match in ELA or math. Fourth grade is weakest, with math at 26.26% against the state's 52% and ELA at 23.23% against 42.2%. A relative bright spot is chronic absenteeism at 18.7%, better than the district's 24.6% and most nearby same-district schools, though still above the state's 16.7%.
