Summary

Miami Elementary School is a K–4 school in Lafayette, Indiana, serving 442 students as part of Lafayette School Corporation. It is ranked 789 of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–26 (22nd percentile, 1 star), while its district ranks 243 of 374 (35th percentile, 2 stars). Miami has been rated 1 star in most recent years, with 2-star ratings from 2015–16 through 2017–18.

Compared with nearby schools, Miami has the lowest ELA proficiency (26.75%) and the lowest science proficiency (22.08%) in the comparison group. Math proficiency is 34.81%, above Thomas Miller Elementary School (31.90%) and Amelia Earhart Elementary School (29.69%) but below every other nearby school. Its 30.1% chronic absenteeism rate in 2024–25 is the second highest nearby, behind only Thomas Miller (32.6%), and well above the district rate of 24.6% and the state rate of 16.7%. Miami also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate among these schools at 83.48%, yet spends $11,369 per student — below the same-district nearby average — with a student–teacher ratio of 15.6. Nearby Tippecanoe School Corp schools such as Woodland Elementary School, Mayflower Mill Elementary School, and Wea Ridge Elementary School generally post higher proficiency with lower poverty rates and lower absenteeism.

There is real momentum: ELA proficiency rose from 15.85% in 2022–23 to 26.75% in 2025–26, math from 23.78% to 34.81%, and science from 10.13% to 22.08%, sharply narrowing the gaps to the district. Still, grade-level results show weak spots — 4th-grade ELA (22.37%) and 4th-grade science (22.08%) are far below district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism has nearly doubled since 2021–22 (16.7%), which is likely a major barrier to academic growth. Attendance, early literacy, science, and grade-level math are the areas to watch.
