Summary:

In zip code 47941, there is one public elementary school, Dayton Elementary School, serving students from Kindergarten through 5th grade. This school is part of the Tippecanoe School Corp, a district that performs well statewide.

Dayton Elementary School is a 4-star rated school, ranking 229th out of 1016 elementary schools in Indiana for the 2022-2023 school year. The school generally performs at or above the district average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with a notable increase in 3rd-grade ELA scores in the 2024-2025 academic year. However, math proficiency shows a more varied picture, with a strong performance in 3rd-grade math for 2024-2025, but a decline in 4th and 5th-grade math proficiency compared to the previous year and the district average. Science and Social Studies scores also present mixed results, with 4th-grade science below the district average and 5th-grade Social Studies showing a significant fluctuation.

The school serves a diverse student body, with over half of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. A key area for attention is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, which can impact student learning. Despite these challenges, Dayton Elementary School invests significantly in its students, with a spending per student of $10,961, which is above the national average, and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.1. These resources provide a strong foundation, but targeted strategies may be beneficial to enhance performance in specific academic areas, particularly math for older grades.
