Summary

Claypool Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Claypool, Indiana, which is part of the Warsaw Community Schools district. With 271 students, Claypool Elementary has faced several challenges in recent years, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Claypool Elementary School's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 294 out of 1,040 Indiana elementary schools in 2014-2015 (4-star rating) to 607 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025 (2-star rating). The school consistently underperforms the Warsaw Community Schools district and the state of Indiana in ILEARN test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 36.6% of Claypool students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 45.41% for the district and 40.3% for the state. In math, only 37.91% of Claypool students were proficient or better, compared to 46.04% for the district and 51.5% for the state.

Despite spending more per student ($12,576 in 2023-2024) than other Warsaw schools ($10,208 to $10,764 for other Warsaw schools in 2023-2024) and having a lower student-teacher ratio (11.4 in 2023-2024) compared to other Warsaw schools (13.3 to 15.0 in 2023-2024), Claypool Elementary School's academic outcomes are still lagging. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student achievement. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.21% to 73.8% over the past few years, indicates that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance.
