Summary

Sand Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Fishers, Indiana, serving 538 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Hamilton Southeastern Schools district, which is ranked 11th out of 380 districts in the state.

While Sand Creek Elementary's overall academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, lags behind the district and some nearby schools like Fall Creek Elementary, Harrison Parkway Elementary, and Thorpe Creek Elementary, the school shows variability in its performance across grade levels and subject areas. For example, Sand Creek's 3rd-grade ILEARN scores in both English Language Arts and Math were higher than the district average in the 2024-2025 school year.

Other areas of note include Sand Creek's higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 8.0% to 19.2% in recent years, and the school's increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 19.59% in 2021-2022 to 28.07% in 2023-2024. While the school's per-student spending has increased, reaching $12,419 in 2023-2024, the effectiveness of these resources in supporting student learning remains an area for further examination.
