Flat Rock-Hawcreek School Corp

Flat Rock-Hawcreek School Corp is a small Indiana district made up of just two schools serving 982 students: Hope Elementary School (K–6, 547 students) and Hauser Junior-Senior High School (7–12, 435 students). There is no standalone middle school and no alternative school in the data. The district ranks 165th of 374 Indiana districts, placing it in the 56th percentile with 3 stars, and both schools currently hold 3-star ratings.

Hope Elementary is the stronger performer in math and attendance. Its All Grades math proficiency is 52.51%, well above the district's 43.76%, and its 3rd grade math score of 67.65% beats the state's 51.9% by 15.75 points, with 5th and 6th grade math also above state levels. Chronic absenteeism is 16.0%, below both the district (19.5%) and the state (16.7%), even though 54.48% of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch — higher than Hauser's 43.91%. Its science results also jumped from 23.18% to 40.94% year over year. Weak spots include 4th grade ELA at 27.17% versus the state's 42.2%, and 5th grade social studies at 26.67% versus 47.2%.

Hauser's standout metric is a 100% graduation rate in 2024–2025, far above the state's 89.7%, and its SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing score of 53.62% edges the state's 51.9%. Attendance and math are the challenges: chronic absenteeism is 24.1%, and All Grades math proficiency is 27.22%, a 25.29-point gap behind Hope. SAT Math is 21.74% versus the state's 25.6%. Notably, Hauser spends $13,406 per student compared with Hope's $9,752 and has a much smaller student-teacher ratio (12.2 vs. 19.1), yet math outcomes remain lower — suggesting resources and class size alone do not explain the difference. The biggest opportunities are Hauser's math achievement and absenteeism, plus Hope's social studies and 4th grade ELA and science.
