Summary

Wyandotte Elementary is a mid-sized K–5 school serving 522 students on Lafayette's east side, part of the Tippecanoe School Corp — one of Indiana's stronger districts — and it enrolls a notably less low-income student population than the Lafayette School Corporation schools a few miles away.

In 2025–2026, Wyandotte ranked 234th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (77th percentile) with 4 stars — second among the 11 nearby schools compared here, behind only Hershey Elementary School. Its standout strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism of 6.8%, less than half the district rate and roughly 40% of the state rate, and far below the 15–30% seen at Edgelea Elementary School, Oakland Elementary School, Vinton Elementary School, Paramount School of Excellence Lafayette and Miami Elementary School. Math is its other differentiator at 61.0% proficient, nearly 10 points above the district, while ELA (51.0%) only matches the district average. Fourth- and fifth-grade results and fifth-grade social studies (59.3%) are strong.

Two things for parents to weigh: third grade is the weak link, with 3rd-grade ELA at 38.64% — below both the district and the state — even as 4th and 5th grade run well above them; and science has slipped to 52.9%, the only subject now sitting slightly below the district. The school's rank has also drifted down from a 2021–2022 peak of 93rd percentile (5 stars) to 71 before recovering to 77. All of this happens on $10,538 per student, lower than nearly every neighboring school, with a student/teacher ratio that has risen to 16.3.
