Waldron Elementary serves over 310 students in grades preK-5. The school is located in the rural southeastern quadrant of Shelby County at the edge of the town of Waldron. WES was renovated in 2001, and the renovations have provided staff and students with an impressive science lab, computer lab, media center, and up-to-date classrooms.

Gifted and talented, Title 1, K-Club, preschool, and special education programs are available to provide services for qualifying students. The school is also staffed with music, art, and physical education teachers, a media specialist, nurse, and school counselor.

There are many extra-curricular activities that take place at WES to promote the importance of academics as well as school spirit. Those activities are Student Council, Spell Bowl, Math Bowl, basketball and cheerleading.

Parental support is evident and greatly appreciated. Parents provide support in many ways through the PTO program. PTO helps by volunteering in classrooms and also funds field trips, classroom supplies, the Accelerated Reader program, and playground equipment. WES is a place where parents and teachers work together to provide the best educational environment for students to achieve their fullest potential.

With a 20:1 student to teacher ratio, teachers are able to provide appropriate learning opportunities in a safe and serene environment. Teachers have aligned the curriculum to meet the Indiana Academic Standards. Waldron Elementary is a fully accredited school which continues to make AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) along with the ranking of being an "exemplary" school as defined by the Indiana Department of Education.
