Summary:
Hamlet, Indiana is home to two public schools, both part of the Oregon-Davis School Corp district: Oregon-Davis Elementary School, serving grades K–6 with 299 students, and Oregon-Davis Junior-Senior High School, serving grades 7–12 with 228 students. Together they enroll 527 students. The district is ranked 213th of 374 in Indiana, placing it in the 43rd percentile with a 2-star rating. That single district rating hides two quite different school stories.
Oregon-Davis Elementary School is the stronger academic performer, particularly in math. Its Math All Grades score is 50.38% proficient, above the district's 37.44%, and standout grade-level results include 3rd Grade Math at 70% versus the state's 51.9% and 6th Grade Science at 50% versus 41.2%. Third Grade ELA is 53.33% against a state figure of 40.8%. Its current rank is 397 of 1,015, or the 61st percentile, with 3 stars — up from 593 of 1,011, or the 41st percentile, with 2 stars in 2023–2024. It is not strong everywhere: ELA in grades 4–6 falls below state levels, 5th Grade Social Studies is 36.67% versus 47.2%, and chronic absenteeism is 18.5%, above both the district's 17.4% and the state's 16.7%.
Oregon-Davis Junior-Senior High School combines real strengths with a serious math problem. Its graduation rate is 100% versus the state's 89.7%, chronic absenteeism is 15.9% — lower than the district and state — and 8th Grade ELA is 53.85% versus 44%. Math, however, is a severe concern: Math All Grades is 13.89% against the district's 37.44%, 7th Grade Math is 18.18% versus 35.9%, 8th Grade Math is 10.26% versus 34.2%, and SAT Math is 12% versus 25.6%. The school spends more per student ($15,253 vs. $11,818) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (10.6 vs. 12.7) than the elementary school, yet math outcomes lag far behind, and its ranking has swung from 4 stars to 1 star to 2 stars in three years.
