Summary:
Triton Central Elementary School is the only elementary school in Triton Central Schools, serving grades PK–4 to 516 students in Fairland, Indiana. Because it is the sole elementary campus, school-level and district-level elementary results largely overlap. The district is ranked 91st of 374 Indiana districts, placing it in the 76th percentile with a 4-star rating, and the school has a student-teacher ratio of 17.4 with per-student spending of $10,187.
Academically, the school ranks 267th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 74th percentile with 4 stars. That follows 256th of 1,005 (75th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025 and 375th of 1,011 (63rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024, a notable jump from 3 stars to sustained 4-star performance. Math is the clearest strength: 68.89% proficiency at all grades versus 48.15% for the district, with 3rd grade math at 76.67% (state 51.9%) and 4th grade math at 61.11% (state 52%). English Language Arts also improved, rising from 46.39% to 57.22% year over year and beating the district's 50.26%; 3rd grade ELA reached 70% (state 40.8%) while 4th grade ELA was 44.44% (state 42.2%).
Science is the relative weak spot at 35.56%, below the district's 37.85% and the state's 43.8% at 4th grade, and down from 51.49% a year earlier — likely a cohort effect, but worth watching. Chronic absenteeism is 11.2%, better than the district's 14.2% and the state's 16.7%. Notably, 44.96% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, yet the school outperforms the district in ELA and math. Third grade outperformed 4th grade in both ELA and math, making 4th grade ELA and science the main areas to monitor.
