Summary

Eastwood Elementary School is a PK–6 school at 806 S 22nd St in New Castle, Indiana, serving 257 students as part of the New Castle Community School Corp, a district ranked 249th of 374 in Indiana. The school's own 2025–2026 ranking is 899th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 11th percentile, with 1 star. This is not a one-year dip: Eastwood has received 1 star every year from 2015–2016 through 2025–2026, with percentile ranks ranging from 11 to 27.

Test scores are below district and state in nearly every subject. In 2025–2026, all-grades ELA proficiency was 11.82% (district 31.42%), math 23.64% (district 31.95%), and science 16.67% (district 29.63%). Reading is the clearest weakness: third grade 9.3%, fourth 12.5%, and fifth 13.95%, compared with roughly 40–42% statewide. Fifth-grade math was 16.28%, and fourth-grade science 16.67%. Among nearby schools, Westwood Elementary School (86th percentile), James Whitcomb Riley Elementary School (56th), and Wilbur Wright Elementary School (46th) score far higher; Parker Elementary School (14th) is closest in rank, and only Indiana eSchool Academy K-5, at the 4th percentile, ranks lower.

About 74.71% of Eastwood students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, among the highest in the area, and chronic absenteeism was 20.7% — above the district's 17.1% and the state's 16.7%, though much improved from 39.2% in 2021–2022. Notably, Eastwood spends the most per student ($13,535 in 2023–2024) and has the smallest classes (9.8 students per teacher) of nearby schools with data, yet results remain near the bottom; Westwood spends $10,440 per student with a ratio of 15.0 and much higher proficiency. Wilbur Wright serves a similarly high-poverty population (72.46%) with far stronger outcomes, suggesting demographics alone do not explain Eastwood's results. The most encouraging signs are improving attendance and a slight math uptick; the most urgent priorities appear to be early reading, science, and fifth-grade math.
