Summary
Bloomfield Elementary School is a public PK–5 school in Bloomfield, Indiana, serving 416 students as part of Bloomfield School District, which covers a rural area and ranks 180th of 374 Indiana districts (52nd percentile, 3 stars). The school's own standing has slipped: its 2025–26 rank is 592nd of 1,015 elementary schools (42nd percentile, 2 stars), down from 467th of 1,005 (54th percentile, 3 stars) a year earlier and near the lower end of its shown history.
The most dramatic change is in English language arts. In 2025–26 ILEARN results, 26.34% of Bloomfield students were proficient in ELA, down from 41.03% the prior year and below the district's 32.09%. Every tested grade is below the state average: 3rd grade 28.57% vs 40.8%, 4th grade 25.45% vs 42.2%, and 5th grade 25% vs 42.2%. Among nearby schools, only Shakamak Elementary School was lower, while North Daviess Elementary School (52.06%) and Linton-Stockton Elementary (50.98%) were far higher. Math was 41.4%, above the district (35.82%) but below the nearby average, with 3rd-grade math the lowest of the comparison group. Science (49.09%) and 5th-grade social studies (52.94%) are relative bright spots, above both district and state.
Chronic absenteeism is a watch item: 10.1% in 2024–25, better than the district (16.2%) and state (16.7%) but more than double the prior year's 4.1%, and now above Clay City Elementary School (4.7%), Shakamak (6.2%), North Daviess (7.5%), and Linton-Stockton (8.5%). Resources look relatively favorable — $11,513 per student in 2023–24 and a 14.1 student-teacher ratio — yet Linton-Stockton spends less and posts much higher ELA, math, and science, so spending and class size alone do not explain the achievement gap. Bloomfield is PK–5 while nearby schools span K–4 through K–8, so all-grade comparisons can be affected by which grades are tested; grade-level results show the same pattern. ELA is the most urgent metric to monitor.
