Summary:
Zip code 46538 is home to one public elementary school, Leesburg Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and is part of the Warsaw Community Schools district.
Leesburg Elementary School has a student population of 559 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.1, with a spending per student of $10,190. The school has seen a slight decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from 3 stars in the 2020-2021 school year to 2 stars in the following two years. A significant concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is considerably higher than ideal and can impact student learning. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for all grades are generally below the district average. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, math proficiency in 5th and 6th grade was notably lower than district and state averages. However, there is a strong positive indicator in 6th-grade English Language Arts proficiency for the 2023-2024 school year, where the school significantly outperformed both the district and the state.
The school serves a student body where 55.64% qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a significant portion of students may face socioeconomic challenges. While the school has adequate resources in terms of spending per student and student-teacher ratio, the academic results do not consistently reflect this. The district itself, Warsaw Community Schools, is ranked 119th out of 380 in Indiana. However, Leesburg Elementary School's performance in several key academic areas lags behind the district average, suggesting potential internal disparities. The discrepancy in 5th-grade Social Studies proficiency between the 2023-2024 school year (22.62%) and the 2024-2025 projections (43.18%) also warrants further investigation.
