Summary

Otterbein Elementary School is a small K–6 school serving 245 students in the town of Otterbein, Indiana, part of the Benton Community School Corp, and it is currently ranked 409th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools for 2025–2026 (60th percentile, 3 stars).

Attendance is Otterbein's standout strength. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 6.8% in 2024–2025 is the lowest among all nearby schools and far below the district's 12.2% and the state's 16.7%, edging out Pine Village Elementary School (7.2%), West Lafayette Elementary School (7.3%), Burnett Creek Elementary School (7.6%) and Klondike Elementary School (8.5%). On the 2025–2026 ILEARN, Otterbein beat its district in every major subject — 37.16% vs 29.47% in ELA, 52.03% vs 39.2% in math, 41.56% vs 32.47% in science, and 55.26% vs 48.11% in 5th-grade social studies. Against nearby schools, though, it sits mid-pack: its ELA and math results trail Pine Village, West Lafayette, Burnett Creek, Klondike and Vinton, while its math and science scores top Prairie Crossing Elementary School, Murdock, Thomas Miller and Paramount.

Grade-level results show strong early math — 3rd grade at 69.7% and 4th grade at 61.54%, both well above district and state — but a clear 5th-grade dip, where ELA (26.32%) and math (36.84%) fell below district and state even as that same grade scored 55.26% in social studies. Otterbein spends $15,714 per student and has an 11.2 student-teacher ratio, among the most favorable in the area, and it outperforms Prairie Crossing, its district peer, on nearly every measure. Its rank history shows a long decline from the 79th–82nd percentile in 2016–2018, with recent stabilization in the mid-50s to low-60s.
