Summary

Mintonye Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 452 students in Lafayette, IN, part of the Tippecanoe School Corp, and in 2025–26 it ranks 240th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 76th percentile, with 4 stars.

Academically, Mintonye is above its district in every tested subject: all-grade ELA proficiency is 54.38% versus the district's 51.44%, math is 57.34% versus 51.23%, and science is 55.41% versus 53.19%. Math is the clearest strength, running 6.11 percentage points above the district average. Fourth grade stands out, with 64.86% proficient in ELA, 70.27% in math, and 55.41% in science — all well above both district and state. A few grade-level spots trail the district even though they sit near or above state levels, notably 3rd grade math (51.72%) and 5th grade social studies (52.33%). Among same-district peers, Mintonye holds the top overall rating while all others are 3-star schools; Woodland Elementary School posts higher 2025–26 all-grade math (60.42%) but far lower ELA and science. The Lafayette School Corporation peers range from the 21st to 58th percentile, with Oakland Elementary School the strongest of that group.

Attendance is a clear plus: chronic absenteeism is 9.1%, below the district's 10.5% and the state's 16.7%, and only James Cole Elementary School is lower nearby, at 7.1%. Mintonye also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate in this comparison set, at 29.42%, which is useful context for reading its results. It spends $10,271 per student, less than most nearby schools that generally post lower proficiency and rank — a notable efficiency contrast, though not proof of cause. After a brief 3-star dip in 2020–21 and 2021–22, Mintonye has held a high 4-star level for four straight years. The main things to watch are 3rd grade math and 5th grade social studies.
