Summary

O J Neighbours Elementary School is a public elementary school in Wabash, Indiana, serving 384 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Wabash City Schools district.

While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Indiana elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (32.67%) and Math (33.17%) below the Wabash City Schools district and state averages, it faces significant challenges. O J Neighbours Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.2% to 22.6% in recent years, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.15% to 60.68% in recent years, suggesting socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, O J Neighbours Elementary performs worse than Southwood Elementary and North Miami Elementary, which are both in the top half of Indiana elementary schools. The school has also seen a decrease in per-student spending, from $12,454 in 2021-2022 to $10,780 in 2023-2024, which may limit its ability to provide the necessary resources and support for its students. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach involving the school, district, and community stakeholders to improve academic achievement and support the unique needs of the student population.
