Summary

Granville Wells Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jamestown, Indiana, serving 370 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Western Boone County Community School District, which is ranked 20th out of 380 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Granville Wells Elementary is a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Indiana elementary schools over the past 5 years. The school's proficiency rates in ILEARN assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science are generally higher than the state and district averages, particularly in 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades. For example, in 2024-2025, Granville Wells had 66.67% proficiency in ILEARN Math, compared to 60.32% for the district and 51.5% for the state. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.0% in 2021-2022 to 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district average of 9.4%.

Compared to nearby schools, Granville Wells Elementary performs better academically than most, particularly those in the Lebanon Community School Corporation district. However, Pittsboro Elementary and North Salem Elementary, both part of the North West Hendricks Schools district, outperform Granville Wells in several academic areas. The school and district should closely monitor the chronic absenteeism issue and implement targeted interventions to address the underlying causes and improve student attendance.
