Summary:
Andrews, Indiana has a single public school—Andrews Elementary School, a PK–5 campus with 290 students in the Huntington County Com School Corp, a small-town district in Huntington County. Because it is the only school in the city, parents choosing a school here are really choosing this one building, so the district and state comparisons below matter far more than any city-to-city comparison.
The clearest strengths are attendance and core academics. Chronic absenteeism is 8.6%, well below the district's 14.8% and the state's 16.7%—roughly half the state rate, which means students are in class more often. In 2025–2026, all-grades ELA proficiency is 46.71% versus the district's 35.37%, and math is 50.66% versus 39.47%, both gaps of more than 11 percentage points. Fifth grade is the standout: 5th grade ELA is 50%, math is 51.92%, and social studies is 51.92%, all above district and state figures. The school has held a 3-star rating for three straight years and sits at the 63rd percentile, above the median. Class sizes are relatively small, with a 12.3 student-teacher ratio and $10,701 in per-student spending (2023–2024); 41.38% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
The main concern is science. All-grades science proficiency fell from 56.6% in 2024–2025 to 41.3% in 2025–2026, a 15.3-point drop, and now trails the district's 42.45%. Fourth grade science is below both district and state. Math is mixed by grade: overall math is strong, but 3rd grade math is 48.15%, under the state's 51.9%, while 4th grade math is about even with district and state. ELA is consistently above district in every tested grade. The school's percentile rank has also eased from 69 to 65 to 63 over three years—not a sharp decline, but worth watching. Families should also note the state suppressed some state-level comparison figures for all-grades subjects, so those numbers are simply unavailable.
