Summary:
College Corner, Indiana has exactly one public school: College Corner Union Elementary School, serving grades K–5 with 287 students. It is part of the Union County/Clg Corner Joint School District, and because there is no middle or high school in the area, students continue elsewhere after fifth grade. The figures below come from mixed school years (2023–24 through 2025–26), so no single year is a complete snapshot.
The school's clearest strength is its upward trajectory: it rose from 487 of 1,011 (52nd percentile) in 2023–24 to 308 of 1,015 (70th percentile) in 2025–26 — a gain of 179 places. On 2025–26 ILEARN results, it outperforms its own district in English/language arts (51.75 vs 43.8), Math (48.95 vs 40.14), and Science (48.84 vs 41.94). Fifth-grade Social Studies is its best subject at 57.63% proficient, well above the state's 47.2. Attendance is a quiet standout: chronic absenteeism of 9.6% is below the district's 10.0% and far below the state's 16.7%, and it lines up with the ranking climb.
The priority area is equally clear. Fifth-grade Math sits at 33.9% proficient — below the district (44.76) and the state (42), and the only grade-level result trailing both by a wide margin. Within that same fifth-grade cohort, ELA is at 50.85, a roughly 17-point subject gap. Science softened year over year, from 55.17 to 48.84, though the district declined too, so that may be regional. Families should also know the school is rated 3 stars while the district shows 4 stars at the same 70th percentile, suggesting the ratings are not on the same scale. With only about 50–60 students per grade, year-to-year swings can partly reflect which children are in the class rather than changes in teaching.
