Summary

Blair Pointe Upper Elementary is a public elementary school serving 557 students in grades 3-6 in Peru, Indiana, which is part of the Peru Community Schools district. The school consistently outperforms the district average on ILEARN assessments, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across all grades compared to the district and state averages.

However, Blair Pointe Upper Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.5% in 2021-2022 to 19.7% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average of 15-16%. The school has also seen a steady increase in per-student spending, from $8,538 in 2020-2021 to $10,637 in 2023-2024, but its student-teacher ratio of 17.9 is higher than the 15.3 ratio at the nearby Elmwood Primary Learning Center.

Overall, Blair Pointe Upper Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the Peru Community Schools district, with higher test scores and more per-student spending than the district average. However, the school's rising chronic absenteeism rate and higher student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby schools are areas that warrant further attention and improvement.

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
