East Washington School Corp

East Washington School Corp is a small Indiana district with three schools — one elementary (PK–4, 506 students), one middle (5–8, 418 students), and one high school (9–12, 392 students) — serving roughly 1,316 students in total. The district itself ranks 187 of 374 in Indiana, at the 50th percentile with 3 stars, but that average hides very different school-level results.

East Washington Elementary School is the district's bright spot: it ranks 194 of 1,015 (81st percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026, up from the 68th and then 78th percentile in the two prior years. Its all-grade proficiency is 55.88% in ELA, 65.88% in math, and 51.25% in science, all above district averages of 41.89%, 41.35%, and 42.37%. East Washington Middle School sits at 278 of 486 (43rd percentile, 2 stars) and trails the district in ELA (35.62%), math (30.34%), and science (35.05%), though 5th grade social studies reached 56.25% against a state rate of 47.2%. Eastern High School fell to 315 of 415 (24th percentile, 1 star); its SAT ELA was 31.25% against a state 51.9%, and SAT math 7.5% against 25.6%.

Chronic absenteeism climbs with grade level — 19.7% at the elementary, 25.9% at the middle, and 35.4% at the high school — and every school is above the state's 16.7%. Spending and class size do not track outcomes in this snapshot: the high school spends the most ($11,945) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (13.0), while the elementary spends $9,882 with the highest ratio (18.0) and the strongest results. Despite weak test scores, the high school's graduation rate of 90.4% is slightly above the state's 89.7%.
