Summary

Silver Creek Elementary School in Sellersburg, Indiana, is a public school of about 980 students in grades 2–5, making it the largest campus among the nearby schools it is typically compared with. It belongs to Silver Creek School Corporation, a district ranked 73rd of 374 Indiana districts (80th percentile, 4 stars). In 2025–2026, the school ranked 334th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (67th percentile, 3 stars), up from 545th of 1,016 (46th percentile, 2 stars) in 2022–2023.

Attendance is a standout strength: chronic absenteeism was 7.1% in 2024–2025, well below the district's 12.3% and the state's 16.7%, and lower than every nearby school except Silver Creek Primary School (1.9%). In 2025–2026, proficiency was above state levels in English language arts at every tested grade, in math at every grade, and in 4th-grade science; the exception is 5th-grade social studies at 44.49%, below the state's 47.2%. Among neighbors, Utica Elementary School scores higher in ELA, math, and science, and Grant Line Elementary School scores higher in ELA and math, while Silver Creek Elementary outperforms Northaven Elementary School, Fairmont Elementary School, Parkwood Elementary School, and Mount Tabor Elementary School in ELA, and is close to Slate Run Elementary School in math.

The school achieves this with the highest student-teacher ratio in its comparison group (20.8) and the lowest per-student spending ($9,064 in 2023–2024), pointing to efficient instruction and strong attendance practices. Its free/reduced lunch rate of 35.71% is moderate for the area — similar to Utica's 36.18% but far below Parkwood's 80.75%. Two areas to watch: math proficiency slips from 60.52% in 3rd grade to 45.71% in 5th, and 5th-grade social studies trails the state even though it is the strongest among nearby schools reporting the subject. Overall, this is a large, improving school with strong attendance and science results.
