Summary

Washington Elementary School is a 500-student, K–6 school at 423 W Kincaide St in the city of Warsaw, part of Warsaw Community Schools, where it currently ranks 369th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools—64th percentile, 3 stars. It is a mid-to-upper-tier school that has recovered from a 2022–23 slump and now sits in a stable 64th–69th percentile band. Parents should know it is not the district’s academic flagship, but it often does more with less than its peers.

In 2025–26 ILEARN results, the school posted 46.45% proficient in ELA, 44.19% in math, and 48.23% in science. Science is its clearest strength: it beats the district (43.26%) and the state, with 4th-grade science at 48.05% and 6th-grade science at 48.44%. Fifth-grade social studies is also strong at 55.43%, compared with 47.2% statewide. But grade-level results are uneven: 4th-grade ELA is 35.06%, well below the state’s 42.2%, and 5th-grade math is 36.96%, far below the district’s 52.28%. Meanwhile, 6th-grade ELA is 53.13%, well above the state’s 41.3%. Compared with nearby schools, Madison Elementary School and Eisenhower Elementary School score higher, while Claypool Elementary School scores much lower even though it spends more per student and has smaller classes.

The resource picture is the biggest watch item. The school has the largest classes (15.4 students per teacher) and the lowest per-pupil spending ($9,662 in 2023–24) among the 11 comparison schools, and it serves 500 students, the second-largest enrollment in that group. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 51.8% and rising. Chronic absenteeism is 7.9%—less than half Indiana’s 16.7% and below the district’s 9.7%—but it is third-highest among Warsaw elementaries and rose from 6.9% the prior year. Overall, it is a solid 3-star school with real science and attendance strengths, plus specific 4th-grade ELA and 5th-grade math soft spots to ask about.
