Summary

East Washington Academy is an elementary school in Muncie, Indiana, serving 491 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Muncie Community Schools district, which is ranked 295 out of 380 districts in the state.

East Washington Academy consistently outperforms the Muncie Community Schools district in ILEARN test scores, with 42.98% of its students proficient or better in ELA and 48.94% proficient or better in math, compared to just 23.41% and 24.71% for the district, respectively. The school's science and social studies scores are also notably higher than the district averages. However, when compared to schools in other nearby districts, such as Selma Elementary and Yorktown Elementary, East Washington Academy's performance is not as strong, particularly in math and science.

One area of concern for East Washington Academy is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 41.2% over the past few years. Additionally, the school serves a high-need student population, with 52.55% to 70.51% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio, East Washington Academy's academic performance is not on par with some of the higher-performing schools in the area, indicating that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be at play.
