Summary:
The 46319 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Elsie Wadsworth Elementary School and Beiriger Elementary School. While both schools serve a predominantly disadvantaged student population, with high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility, Griffith Public Schools district data suggests Beiriger Elementary is the stronger performing of the two.
Beiriger Elementary has a higher statewide ranking, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to Elsie Wadsworth's 2-star rating. Beiriger also demonstrates higher proficiency rates on ILEARN assessments across multiple grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, Elsie Wadsworth has a higher percentage of minority students, with 64% of its student body being non-white, compared to 53% at Beiriger. This suggests Elsie Wadsworth may be serving a more diverse and potentially disadvantaged student population.
While both schools face challenges, with high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, the data indicates Beiriger Elementary is better equipped to support its students' academic success. Targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies employed at Beiriger could potentially be leveraged to drive progress at Elsie Wadsworth and improve educational outcomes for all students in the 46319 zip code area.
