Summary

Beiger Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mishawaka, Indiana, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 498. The school is part of the School City of Mishawaka district, which is ranked 240 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beiger Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.8% to 34.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 31.12% of Beiger students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 28.44% for the district and 40.3% statewide. In math, 39% of Beiger students were proficient or better, compared to 29.83% for the district. Beiger Elementary also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.77% to 67.22% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other elementary schools in the same district, such as Lasalle Elementary, Beiger Elementary generally performs worse on test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. Nearby schools in the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation, such as Walt Disney Elementary and Bittersweet Elementary, significantly outperform Beiger Elementary on test scores and other metrics. Despite Beiger Elementary's higher spending per student compared to the district average, its academic outcomes remain relatively low, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as student demographics and school-level practices, may be contributing to the school's performance.
