Summary:

Plainfield Community School Corp is a high-performing Indiana district serving about 5,707 students across eight schools — five elementary schools (K-5), one middle school (6-8), one high school (9-12), and one very small alternative school (K-12) — and is ranked 22nd of 374 Indiana districts, in the 94th percentile with a 5-star district rating.

Plainfield High School is the academic flagship: ranked 26th of 415 Indiana high schools with 5 stars, a 96.0% graduation rate against the state's 89.7%, SAT reading/writing at 69.18% versus 51.9% statewide, and SAT math at 43.24% versus 25.6%. Plainfield Community Middle School ranks 42nd of 486 with 5 stars, chronic absenteeism of 9.0%, and a reported Biology End-of-Course proficiency near 99% in both listed years. Among the elementaries, all of which earned 4 stars, Van Buren Elementary School leads in math (69.92%) and science (65.00%), Guilford Elementary leads in ELA (65.56%), Central Elementary School combines the lowest chronic absenteeism (7.9%) with the lowest regular per-student spending ($8,941), and Brentwood Elementary School posts strong math (69.34%) despite a 52.14% free/reduced lunch rate.

Clarks Creek Elementary is the biggest improver, rising from 2 stars and the 43rd percentile to 4 stars and the 73rd percentile, yet it remains below district averages in ELA, math, and science, with the highest elementary free/reduced lunch rate (62.13%) and the highest regular-school spending ($12,078). Pride Academy, with 12 students, 38.5% chronic absenteeism, 75% free/reduced lunch, 0% reported ELA and math proficiency, and an unreported science result, is best considered separately. Every regular school beats the state's 16.7% chronic absenteeism rate.
