East Washington Elementary School

Q: Is East Washington Elementary School a good school?

East Washington Elementary School ranks 323 rd of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

East Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pekin, Indiana, serving 542 students in grades PK-4 as part of the West Washington School Corporation. This school consistently outperforms its district and the state of Indiana in academic proficiency, but also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

One of the key strengths of East Washington Elementary is its strong academic performance, with 47.57% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 55.83% in Math, compared to the district's 39.74% and 43.11%, respectively. This consistent academic success has helped the school maintain a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years. However, the school's student population is predominantly white (95.2%), which is in contrast to the more diverse nearby schools like Grant Line Elementary and Greenville Elementary.

While East Washington Elementary excels academically, it faces some challenges, including a higher chronic absenteeism rate (22.4%) compared to the state average and nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.18%), which is higher than some of the surrounding schools. These factors suggest that East Washington Elementary may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be an area for further investigation and support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
