Summary:
Culver Elementary School is the only elementary school in Culver Community Schools Corp, serving roughly 386 students in grades PK through 5 in Culver, Indiana. Because it is the district's sole elementary campus, it is both the local benchmark and the entire early-education picture for the area. Statewide, it ranked 351st out of 1,015 elementary schools in 2025-2026 — placing it in the upper third of Indiana schools — and it has held a 3-star rating for three consecutive years.
Math is this school's clear engine. Proficiency reached 56.98% across all grades and beat the state at every grade tested, including 62.50% in 3rd grade versus 51.9% statewide and 61.02% in 4th grade versus 52.0%. Science is another highlight, with 4th grade at 55.93% against a state figure of 43.8%. Attendance is a genuine strength as well: chronic absenteeism is 11.7%, better than both the district (16.1%) and the state (16.7%), even though 61.14% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In English language arts, math, and science, the school outperforms its own district overall, suggesting the elementary program is not the district's weak spot.
The clearest area needing attention is 5th grade social studies, where proficiency is 31.58% — about 15.6 points below the state — after sitting above the state the year before. Fifth grade ELA (40.35%) also lands slightly under the state's 42.2%, while 3rd grade is a standout. Because each grade holds only about 50 to 60 students, single-year swings of 8 to 18 points should be read with caution. On balance, this is a stable, above-average school anchored by math and attendance, with 5th grade social studies as the one obvious priority.
