Silver Creek School Corporation

Silver Creek School Corporation is an Indiana district of four schools serving students from prekindergarten through 12th grade, with a total enrollment of about 3,214 students across Silver Creek Primary School (PK–1), Silver Creek Elementary School (2–5), Silver Creek Middle School (6–8), and Silver Creek High School (9–12). The district ranks 73rd of 374 Indiana districts, placing it in the 80th percentile with a 4-star rating.

The Silver Creek Middle School is the academic standout, ranking 90th of 486 middle schools (81st percentile) with 4 stars, up from the 71st percentile in 2023–2024. Its 8th-grade ELA proficiency is 63.72% versus the state's 44%, and 8th-grade math is 46.46% versus 34.2%. The Silver Creek Elementary School is also improving, moving from the 57th to the 67th percentile, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade math above state averages; its weakness is 5th grade social studies at 44.49% versus the state's 47.2%. The Silver Creek High School posts a 95.1% graduation rate and SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing at 55.79%, but SAT Math at 23.55% falls below the state's 25.6%, and it slipped from 4 stars to 3.

Attendance is the district's clearest dividing line: chronic absenteeism climbs from just 1.9% at the Silver Creek Primary School to 7.1% at the Elementary School, 13.2% at the Middle School, and 22.4% at the High School — the only school above both the district's 12.3% and the state's 16.7%. Spending and class sizes vary too: the High School spends the most per student ($10,440) with the lowest student-teacher ratio (16:1), while the Elementary School spends the least ($9,064) with the highest ratio (20.8:1) yet still produces strong math results.
