Summary:

North Miami Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 369 students in grades PK-6 in Denver, Indiana, which is part of the North Miami Community Schools district.

The school consistently outperforms the district and the state of Indiana in academic proficiency, with 41.4% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts and 44.19% proficient or better in ILEARN/Math, compared to 35.78% and 33.24% for the district, respectively. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 88.89% of students identifying as White, which is higher than the racial diversity of the surrounding schools. The school has also seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 14.9% in 2021-2022 to 14.0% in 2022-2023, though this rate is still higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 51.49% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Overall, North Miami Elementary School appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district, with a focus on academic achievement and a stable educational environment. However, the school's lack of racial diversity and higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates may be areas that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions.

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.
