Summary

Northeastern Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fountain City, Indiana, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 592 students. The school is part of the Northeastern Wayne Schools district, which is ranked 162 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Northeastern Elementary School's performance is mixed, with some grades performing better than the state average on ILEARN tests, while others lag behind. For example, 4th grade ELA proficiency was 61.25% in 2024-2025, compared to the state's 41.4%, but 3rd grade ELA proficiency was only 24.75%, compared to the state's 40.3%. The school's overall ELA and Math proficiency rates for all grades in 2024-2025 were 41.82% and 44.4%, respectively, which are slightly higher than the Northeastern Wayne Schools district's scores but still below the state averages. The school has also seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.5% in 2020-2021 to 19.2% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state's average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Hagerstown Elementary School and Centerville-Abington Elementary School, Northeastern Elementary School's academic performance is generally lower, with the nearby schools having higher proficiency rates in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Additionally, the nearby schools have lower chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While Northeastern Elementary School has shown some improvement over the years, with its statewide ranking increasing, it still faces challenges that will require a multi-faceted approach to address.
