Glen Acres Elementary School

Summary:

Glen Acres Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 542 students in grades PK-4 in Lafayette, Indiana, which is part of the Lafayette School Corporation district.

Glen Acres stands out as a relatively high-performing school within its district, outperforming the Lafayette School Corporation in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grades. In 2023-2024, 38.66% of Glen Acres students were proficient or better in ELA compared to 30.05% for the district, and 44.85% were proficient or better in Math compared to 29.98% for the district. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.5% in 2020-2021 to 16.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district average and some nearby schools like Edgelea Elementary (12.0%) and West Lafayette Elementary (9.9%). Additionally, Glen Acres has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 71.77% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the nearby schools of Edgelea (64.55%) and West Lafayette Elementary (26.35%).

Despite its strong academic performance relative to the district, Glen Acres has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 153rd out of 1,027 Indiana elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 534th out of 1,010 in 2023-2024. This suggests that while the school is performing well within its district, it is not keeping pace with improvements in other schools across the state. Additionally, there appear to be achievement gaps between racial groups at Glen Acres, with White students outperforming their African American and Hispanic peers in ELA proficiency.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
