Summary

Blair Pointe Upper Elementary is a public school in Peru, Indiana, serving grades 3–6 with 574 students as part of Peru Community Schools. In 2025–2026, it ranked 634th out of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (38th percentile, 2 stars), placing it in the lower-middle tier. That is a notable drop from 2024–2025, when it was 504th out of 1,005 (50th percentile, 3 stars).

On 2025–2026 ILEARN tests, Blair Pointe Upper Elementary’s all-grades proficiency was 28.15% in English language arts, 36.3% in math, and 37.98% in science. That means the school is above its district in math (33.16%) and equal in science, but below it in ELA (30.25%)—a reversal from prior years when it outperformed the district in ELA. Compared with nearby schools, North Miami Elementary School is higher in all three subjects (ELA 42.58%, math 55.98%, science 47.66%), as are Caston Elementary School and Landis Elementary School. Maconaquah Elementary School, Lewis Cass Elementary School, and O J Neighbours Elementary School trade places by subject. Grade-level bright spots include 4th grade math (47.93% vs. state 52%) and 4th grade science (43.8%, equal to state), while weaker areas include 3rd grade ELA (23.9% vs. state 40.8%), 5th grade math (28.46% vs. state 42%), and 5th grade social studies (40.65% vs. state 47.2%).

Chronic absenteeism was 16.5% in 2024–2025—much lower than the district’s 27.0% and close to the state’s 16.7%, though higher than several nearby schools such as Caston Elementary School (9.4%), Landis Elementary School (8.2%), and North Miami Elementary School (13.8%). The school’s student–teacher ratio rose to 18.8 in 2024–2025, higher than most nearby regular elementary schools, which are mostly in the 14–16.5 range. Its free/reduced lunch rate was 55.57% in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $10,637 in 2023–2024—higher than North Miami Elementary School’s $10,321, yet North Miami Elementary School posts stronger results. The key takeaways are math relative to the district, 4th grade math and science, and better-than-district absenteeism; the biggest concerns are the 2025–2026 rank and ELA decline, plus 3rd grade ELA, 5th grade math, 5th grade social studies, 6th grade science, and a relatively high class size.

Open Quote Disgusting school. They feed the children shredded cheese melted on a hot dog bun with marinara sauce as their hot lunch option. WTF? The curriculum is not challenging and high-achieving students get dragged down. The 4th graders were doing math that was taught in 2nd grade at another area school, for example. Close Quote
