East Side Elementary School

Summary:

East Side Elementary School is a public elementary school in Edinburgh, Indiana, serving 432 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Edinburgh Community School Corp district.

While East Side Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (84.72%) compared to the state average, it consistently underperforms academically, with only 21.08% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2023-2024, far below the district (24.23%) and state (38.6%) averages. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates (22.2%) and a very high percentage of students (75.23%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite increased per-student spending, from $6,917 in 2018-2019 to $8,667 in 2021-2022, East Side Elementary remains the lowest-performing school when compared to nearby schools like CSA Lincoln Campus, which outperforms East Side across all academic measures.

The school's declining statewide ranking, from 479 out of 1,027 Indiana elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 809 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, suggests that East Side Elementary is struggling to keep up with academic performance standards compared to other schools in the state. The combination of low academic achievement, high rates of economic disadvantage, and declining performance indicates that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.

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.
