Summary

Claypool Elementary School in Claypool, IN, is a small rural PK–6 school of 253 students in the Warsaw Community Schools district, about 8 miles southwest of Warsaw and the district’s most far-flung elementary.

In 2025–26, Claypool ranked 764th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (25th percentile, 1 star) — the lowest in its comparison group. It was a 3-star, mid-pack school from 2015–16 through 2021–22, then slipped to 2 stars and now 1 star. All-grades ILEARN proficiency is last among nearby peers: 28.08 ELA, 28.77 math, 22.86 science. By contrast, Eisenhower Elementary School 5.4 miles away posts 62.31 ELA, 63.81 math, 61.83 science; Madison Elementary School is also far higher. Claypool trails district averages by about 18 points in ELA, 16 in math, 20 in science, and 28 in 5th-grade social studies. Sixth grade is especially weak: 18.42% ELA and 15.79% math. Science and social studies show the largest relative gaps.

Context matters: 75.49% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, the highest in the comparison set — above same-district peers at roughly 51.4% and Eisenhower at 37.97%. Claypool also has the highest per-pupil spending ($12,576) and the smallest student–teacher ratio (10.6), yet the lowest outcomes. A bright spot is attendance: chronic absenteeism fell to 8.6%, below both district and state. Improvement likely requires targeted instructional support, not just more money or smaller classes. Small grade cohorts also make single-grade swings less reliable.
