Summary

Eastwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in New Castle, Indiana, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 280. The school is part of the New Castle Community School Corporation, which is ranked 239 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastwood Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Indiana elementary schools, with low ILEARN test scores that are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 26.6% of Eastwood students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 30.91% for the district and 40.3% statewide for 3rd grade. Math proficiency is particularly low, with only 21.28% of Eastwood students proficient or better compared to 32.97% for the district and 51.5% statewide for 3rd grade. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 26.7% over the past 5 years, significantly higher than the state average.

Eastwood Elementary's academic performance lags significantly behind the nearby Westwood Elementary and James Whitcomb Riley Elementary, which are also part of the New Castle Community School Corporation but have higher rankings and better test scores. The high poverty and chronic absenteeism rates at Eastwood Elementary may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, and the school could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to identify areas for improvement and better address the needs of its student population.
