Summary

Wea Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lafayette, Indiana, serving 613 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Tippecanoe School Corporation, which is ranked 77th out of 380 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite the district's strong performance, Wea Ridge Elementary School has faced some challenges. The school has consistently ranked in the lower half of Indiana elementary schools, with a current ranking of 508 out of 1,005 schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is largely due to the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 10.2% to 19.2% over the past few years, and its lower-than-average test scores in ILEARN (Indiana's standardized assessment) across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Wea Ridge has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.59% to 59.05% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district average.

When comparing Wea Ridge Elementary School to other nearby schools within the Tippecanoe School Corporation, such as Mintonye Elementary School and Woodland Elementary School, Wea Ridge consistently performs worse on standardized tests and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's performance is also significantly lower than schools in the neighboring Lafayette School Corporation, such as Murdock Elementary, Thomas Miller Elementary, and Oakland Elementary, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates despite serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
