West Lafayette Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

West Lafayette Intermediate School is a high-performing school for 536 students in grades 4–6 in West Lafayette, Indiana, part of the West Lafayette Com School Corp — a somewhat different grade span than most nearby middle schools, which serve grades 6–8.

Academically, it leads its comparison group. All-grades ELA proficiency is 66.34%, ahead of Klondike Middle School (64.54%), East Tipp Middle School (63.98%) and Battle Ground Middle School (63.75%). Math is 69.50%, a 14.55 percentage-point gap over the next-highest nearby school (54.95%), and science is 68.97%. Compared with state averages, grade-4 ELA is about 22.5 points higher, grade-5 math about 25.7 points higher, grade-6 ELA about 33.6 points higher, and grade-6 science about 28.7 points higher. Grade-5 social studies (73.53%) is roughly double the state average and far above Lafayette Sunnyside Intermediate (36.08%), the only nearby school with a directly comparable grade-5 social studies score.

Attendance is another standout: chronic absenteeism was 4.0% in 2024-25, less than a quarter of the state rate (16.7%) and far below the Lafayette schools, including Lafayette Sunnyside Intermediate (23.4%) and Lafayette Tecumseh Junior High School (29.3%). Free/reduced-price lunch participation is 24.25%, similar to East Tipp Middle School (23.95%) but lower than most neighbors, and the school still outperforms East Tipp in math and science. Per-student spending of $12,958 is the highest in the group, while the student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is mid-range, so unusually small classes alone do not explain the results. Proficiency has generally held steady or improved since 2022-23.
