Summary:

The city of Fillmore, Indiana is home to a single standout school, Fillmore Elementary School, which is part of the South Putnam Community Schools district. This elementary school has consistently ranked in the top 20% of Indiana schools, reaching the top 10% in the 2024-2025 school year, and boasts significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages.

Fillmore Elementary School's academic excellence is evident across multiple metrics. Its proficiency rates in ILEARN/English Language Arts and ILEARN/Math for all grades were 56.9% and 68.97% respectively in the 2024-2025 school year, far surpassing the district averages of 45.4% and 51.63%. Additionally, the school maintains a very low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which likely contributes to its strong performance.

Despite having a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 52.63% in the 2023-2024 school year, Fillmore Elementary School continues to achieve exceptional results, indicating its ability to effectively serve students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's high per-student spending of $13,888 in the 2023-2024 school year and the district's investment in resources suggest a commitment to supporting the school's educational program. While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in the 2023-2024 school year is an area for potential improvement, Fillmore Elementary School remains a standout institution within the South Putnam Community Schools district and the state of Indiana.
