New Prairie United School Corp

New Prairie United School Corp serves roughly 2,815 students across five schools — three elementary schools serving K–5, one middle school serving grades 6–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12 — and ranks 48th of 374 Indiana districts in 2025–2026, placing it in the 87th percentile with a 4-star district rating. Notably, all five schools earned 4 stars, though their individual statewide standings range from the 72nd to the 87th percentile.

Among the elementaries, Olive Township Elementary School is the clear academic leader, ranking 127th of 1,015 elementary schools with the district's highest ELA, math, and science proficiency, the lowest chronic absenteeism (4.6%), and the highest per-student spending ($15,468). Rolling Prairie Elementary School is the biggest upward mover — improving in ELA, math, science, and social studies, rising from 3 stars to 4 — despite the district's highest free/reduced lunch rate (51.21%). Prairie View Elementary School posts the district's best science results (70% all-grade and 4th grade) but saw ELA and math decline, dropping from 113th to 285th. New Prairie High School graduates 94.4% of students and scores 67.24% in SAT reading and writing, yet SAT math lags at 25.43%. New Prairie Middle School has below-district all-grade scores but above-state math results in grades 6, 7, and 8.

District-wide, chronic absenteeism is a strength: every school sits below the state's 16.7%, from Olive Township's 4.6% to the high school's 14.6%. All three elementaries exceed the district math average and beat the state's 5th grade social studies rate of 47.2%. The main contrasts are between the strongest performers and those that recently slipped.
