Summary

Vinton Elementary School is a K–4 school in Lafayette, IN, serving 387 students as part of Lafayette School Corporation. The district ranks 243rd of 374 Indiana districts (35th percentile, 2 stars), but Vinton's own 2025–26 ranking is far stronger: 330th of 1,015 schools, 67th percentile, 3 stars. That is a breakout — Vinton had been in the 36th–43rd percentile range for years, including 36th in 2024–25.

Math is the standout: 61.38% all-grade proficiency, the highest among nearby same-district schools and essentially matching Wyandotte Elementary (61.00), well ahead of Edgelea Elementary (47.03), Oakland Elementary (53.73), and Glen Acres Elementary (45.93). Fourth grade math hit 65.43%, 24.56 points above the district and 13.43 above the state. ELA proficiency of 50.34% is solid and comparable to Oakland (52.24) and Wyandotte (50.97), though far below West Lafayette Elementary School (74.86), which is K–3 and serves a very different population. Science is the relative weak spot at 37.04%, below the state's 43.8 in 4th grade and below Oakland, Glen Acres, and Wyandotte, though still above the district average. Proficiency rose sharply over 2024–25: +18.02 points in ELA, +16.87 in math, +10.30 in science, with stars moving from 2 to 3.

Vinton serves a high-poverty population — 74.42% free/reduced lunch in 2024–25 — and posts strong results anyway, with higher math proficiency than Edgelea (58.11% FRL) and Oakland (69.27% FRL) and far better results than higher-poverty Thomas Miller Elementary School (79.56%), Miami Elementary School (83.48%), and Murdock Elementary School (77.83%). Paramount School of Excellence Lafayette spends more ($16,158 vs. $12,555) and serves a similar population (75.13% FRL) yet scores lower. The biggest concern is chronic absenteeism: 26.0% in 2024–25, up from 7.9% in 2020–21 and above both the district (24.6%) and state (16.7%). Sustaining the 2025–26 gains may depend on bringing that number down.
