Summary

Edgelea Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lafayette, Indiana, serving 443 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Lafayette School Corporation district, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgelea Elementary consistently outperforms the Lafayette School Corporation and the state of Indiana in ILEARN test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (40%), Math (46.47%), and Science (39.47%) that are significantly higher than the district's scores. The school's 3rd and 4th-grade ILEARN scores are also notably higher than the district and state averages, indicating strong academic achievement. However, Edgelea lags behind some higher-performing schools in the Tippecanoe School Corp district, such as Woodland Elementary and Mayflower Mill Elementary.

Edgelea Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.71% to 64.55% over the past few years. Despite these socioeconomic factors, the school has been able to maintain strong academic performance, which may be attributed to its higher per-student spending compared to some nearby schools. However, the school's fluctuating chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 10.8% to 24.5%, is an area of concern that the school and district will need to address to ensure continued academic success.
