Summary

Glen Acres Elementary School is a PK–4 school serving 550 students at 3767 Kimberly Dr in Lafayette, Indiana, in the Lafayette School Corporation. It is the largest elementary campus among nearby district schools and currently ranks 511th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 50th percentile with 2 stars, above the district's 35th percentile but only average statewide. That is far below its earlier peak of the 85th percentile with 4 stars in 2016–2017, and it has mostly hovered between the 41st and 51st percentile since 2020–2021. About 67% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025.

Academically, Glen Acres performs well above its district. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 42.58% in English language arts, 45.93% in math, and 40.45% in science — each roughly 12–16 points above district averages, a pattern that has held for several years. Results split sharply by grade. Fourth grade is a bright spot: 51.69% in ELA and 52.81% in math beat district and state in ELA and essentially match the state in math. Third grade trails both district and state in ELA and math, the school's clearest internal challenge. Science is a relative local strength, the highest among same-district nearby schools, though still below the state's 43.8%.

Attendance is a relative strength: 16.2% chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 is better than the district's 24.6% and slightly better than the state's 16.7%, behind only Edgelea Elementary School among same-district peers — but far above West Lafayette Elementary School (7.3%) and Wyandotte Elementary (6.8%). Glen Acres serves a higher-poverty population than those schools with the lowest per-student spending ($11,281) and highest student-teacher ratio (17.1) among same-district peers. Compared with Edgelea it has a similar rank but stronger science; compared with Oakland Elementary School and Vinton Elementary School it ranks lower but has better attendance; compared with Paramount School of Excellence Lafayette it has a similar rank with higher math and science. Overall, it is a mid-pack school that outperforms its district, especially in science and 4th grade.
