Summary

O J Neighbours Elementary School in Wabash, Indiana, is a public elementary school serving 385 students in grades 1–4 as part of Wabash City Schools, a district ranked 266th of 374 in Indiana (29th percentile, 1 star). The school itself is ranked 720th of 1,015 in 2025–2026 (29th percentile, 1 star), and it has generally been in the bottom third of Indiana elementary schools, reaching only the 46th percentile in 2015–2016.

In 2024–2025, 68.05% of students qualified for free/reduced-price lunch, the highest rate among nearby schools with reported data, and chronic absenteeism was 14.0%. That absenteeism rate is lower than the district’s 23.1% and the state’s 16.7%, but higher than most nearby schools. On the 2025–2026 ILEARN, the school scored 31.63% proficient in English language arts, 30.61% in math, and 33.93% in science. By grade, 3rd grade ELA was 20.48%, 4th grade ELA 39.82%, 3rd grade math 34.94%, 4th grade math 27.43%, and 4th grade science 33.93%—all below state averages. Math and science are at or near the bottom compared with nearby schools: all-grade math is 30.61% versus 62.9% at Southwood Elementary School, 59.14% at Manchester Elementary School, and 40.21% at Horace Mann Elementary; science is the lowest nearby score.

The clearest weakness is math, with all-grade proficiency hovering around 30–33% since 2022–2023. Science also dropped sharply, from 42.17% in 2024–2025 to 33.93% in 2025–2026. Fourth grade ELA is a relative bright spot at 39.82%, close to the state average, but 3rd grade ELA is only 20.48%. Poverty alone does not fully explain the gaps: Horace Mann Elementary has a similarly high free/reduced-lunch rate (64.61%) and similar ELA (31.44%), yet higher math (40.21%) and science (54.29%). Higher-performing nearby schools often have lower poverty and absenteeism, and the school spends $10,780 per student with a 14.5 student-teacher ratio—not obviously worse than nearby schools. Overall, it is a high-poverty, low-ranked school with persistent math weakness and a recent science decline; its absenteeism remains better than district and state averages.
