Summary:
The 46182 zip code area has only one elementary school, Waldron Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has 288 students. Waldron Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with ILEARN proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages in several subject areas, particularly in mathematics.
Waldron Elementary has a predominantly White student population (95.14%), which is not representative of the state's overall diversity. However, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 49.65%. Despite this challenge, Waldron Elementary has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 4.1% compared to the district average, suggesting effective attendance policies and support for students.
With a student-teacher ratio of 16.4, slightly lower than the state average, and spending per student of $10,279, Waldron Elementary appears to have the resources to support its students' academic success. While the school's performance is commendable, the lack of diversity and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may warrant further investigation and targeted support to ensure all students have the opportunity to thrive.
