Summary

Otwell Miller Academy is a small public elementary school in Otwell, Indiana, serving about 107 students in grades K–5 and operating as its own one-school district. That district ranks 247th of 374 Indiana districts (2 stars), and the school ranks 631st of 1,015 Indiana schools for 2025–26 — 38th percentile, 2 stars. That is a real climb from 2018–19, when it sat at the 7th percentile, but it is still below the state median and below nearly every nearby school.

Achievement is mixed. In 2025–26 ILEARN results, 25% of students were proficient in English language arts and 36.36% in math — the lowest rates among comparable nearby schools, behind Petersburg Elementary School (28.5% ELA, 40.8% math), Winslow Elementary School (33.63%, 46.9%) and Huntingburg Elementary School (43.26%, 46.82%), and well behind Barr Reeve Elementary School (61.16%, 69.83%). Science is a bright spot: 52.63% proficient, above the state's 43.8% benchmark, and 3rd-grade math reached 63.64%, above the state's 51.9%. However, no tested 5th grader reached proficiency in ELA, math, or social studies. Small class sizes make percentages swing easily, but 5th grade is the clearest concern.

Chronic absenteeism fell to 1.7% in 2024–25, far below the state's 16.7% and better than every nearby school, though the prior year's 20.4% means families should watch whether that gain holds. About 61.68% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch, among the highest locally. Per-student spending was $10,617 in 2023–24, mid-range for the area, and the student-teacher ratio rose from 10.2 to 15.2. Nearby options such as Ireland Elementary School and Jasper Elementary School post stronger ELA and math results, making them useful comparisons.
