Summary:
Sweetser, Indiana, is served by a single public school in this data set: Sweetser Elementary School, an elementary building covering grades 3–4 with 200 students at 614 N Main St. Because no middle, high, or alternative schools are listed for the city, students move on to other schools or districts after grade 4. The school belongs to Oak Hill United School Corp, a district rated 4 stars and ranked 106th of 374 districts in Indiana, placing it in the 72nd percentile. The school spends $10,912 per student (2023–2024), has 42% free/reduced lunch eligibility, and a student-teacher ratio of 14.4 (2024–2025) — about 14 teachers for its 200 students.
Attendance and math are the clearest strengths. Chronic absenteeism was 6.8% in 2024–2025, compared with 7.9% in the district and 16.7% statewide — less than half the state rate and among the most positive findings in the data. In 2025–2026, all-grade math proficiency was 56.08%, above the district's 52.37%, and 3rd grade math reached 62%, compared with 51.9% statewide and 61.39% in the district. 4th grade math came in at 49.44%, matching the district figure. All-grade math also rose from 52.76% to 56.08% year over year. The school's rank has climbed steadily, from the 51st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 55th and then the 61st in 2025–2026, now above the median.
English language arts is improving but mixed: all-grade ELA rose from 37.69% to 42.33%, while district ELA fell from 47.84% to 43.87%, narrowing the gap from 10.15 points to 1.54 points. Still, 4th grade ELA sits at 37.08%, below the state's 42.2% and equal to the district's 37.08%, and all-grade science is 44.94% against the district's 51.11%, though it edges the state's 43.8% at 4th grade. The school has held 3 stars for three straight years while its district is rated 4 stars. Note that the school's all-grade results reflect only two grade levels, so comparisons with broader state and district figures are not perfectly equivalent.
