Summary:

In zip code 47327, there is one elementary school, Western Wayne Elementary School, serving students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade. This school is part of the Western Wayne Schools district.

Western Wayne Elementary School has an enrollment of 389 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.8. The school's spending per student is $11,212. In terms of academic performance, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for most grade levels are generally below the Indiana state averages. However, its scores tend to be consistent with or slightly above the district averages. There is notable variation in performance across grade levels, with 6th-grade ELA proficiency being significantly higher than lower grades and even surpassing the state average in the 2024-2025 academic year. Conversely, 3rd-grade ELA proficiency is consistently the lowest and well below the state average. Math proficiency in 3rd and 4th grades also lags behind state averages, though 6th-grade Math proficiency is close to the state average.

The school has shown some improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 641 out of 1016 Indiana elementary schools in the 2020-2021 academic year to 425 out of 1016 in 2022-2023, earning it 3 SchoolDigger stars. However, the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024 is a concern and may be linked to academic performance. Over half of the student population, 52.19%, qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of students come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. While there have been slight improvements in some areas, such as 3rd-grade ELA proficiency from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, other areas like 4th and 5th-grade ELA saw a slight dip. Addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting students in lower elementary grades in ELA and Math appear to be key areas for focus.
