Summary

Beiger Elementary School is a PK–6 school in Mishawaka, Indiana, serving 504 students as part of the School City of Mishawaka. The district is ranked 272nd of 374 Indiana districts (27th percentile, 1 star), so Beiger operates within a relatively low-performing district context. Beiger's 2025–2026 rank is 716th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 29th percentile with a 1-star rating. That is a notable drop from 2024–2025, when it ranked 576th of 1,005 (43rd percentile, 2 stars). Recent all-grade ILEARN proficiency rates are 23.48% in English Language Arts, 35.22% in Math, and 28.57% in Science. Chronic absenteeism was 14.8% in 2024–2025, per-student spending was $12,348 in 2023–2024, and the student–teacher ratio was 16 in 2024–2025.

Attendance is Beiger's clearest strength. Its 14.8% chronic absenteeism rate is below both the district (28.6%) and state (16.7%), and far better than same-district schools like Lasalle Elementary School (27.5%), Emmons Elementary School (28.4%), and Battell Elementary School (24.8%). Math is also stronger than ELA and Science relative to district norms, with 3rd-grade math at 49.21% — close to the state's 51.9% — though it declines to 23.81% by 6th grade. Within the district, Beiger outperforms Lasalle, Emmons, and Liberty Elementary School, but trails Twin Branch Elementary School and Fred J Hums Elementary School.

ELA is the biggest academic concern, especially in 4th grade (16.33%) and 6th grade (12.70%), both far below district and state levels. Science also slipped from 43.41% in 2024–2025 to 28.57% in 2025–2026, now below the district. Notably, Beiger spends more per student ($12,348) than every nearby school listed, including Bittersweet Elementary School ($9,461) and Elsie Rogers Elementary School ($9,435), both of which post much higher proficiency. Nearby Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp schools generally rank far higher. One data caveat: Beiger's free/reduced lunch rate fell from 67.22% to 29.96% in two years, an unusually large shift that may reflect reporting or eligibility changes rather than demographics alone.
