Summary

Woodbrook Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Carmel, Indiana, serving 628 students in the Carmel Clay Schools district, a high-performing area. In 2025–2026, it ranked 155th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 85th percentile — with a 4-star rating. That is strong statewide but below most nearby same-district elementaries and a decline from 2017–2018 and 2018–2019, when it ranked 19th of 1,027 and 18th of 1,031.

Woodbrook’s bright spot is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 5.1% in 2024–2025, below the district’s 6.4% and far below Indiana’s 16.7%, and the best figure in its provided history. It also has favorable resources: free/reduced lunch was 12.58%, the student-teacher ratio was 13.9, and per-student spending was $12,669 in 2023–2024. Yet in 2025–2026, Woodbrook was above Indiana averages in every grade-level test but below the district average in every major subject. All-grade ELA was 57.78%, math 59.05%, and science 65.14%, compared with district averages of 70.76%, 71.81%, and 72.59%. Math is the biggest concern: 5th grade math was 45.13%, only slightly above the state’s 42.0% and far below the district’s 71.14%. Among seven nearby same-district elementaries Woodbrook had the lowest 2025–2026 rank: Clay Center Elementary School (7th), Prairie Trace Elementary School (14th), Cherry Tree Elementary School (37th), Mohawk Trails Elementary School (116th), Carmel Elementary School (125th), Forest Dale Elementary School (135th), and Woodbrook (155th). Its all-grade math also trailed every one of those peers.

Compared with nearby out-of-district schools Woodbrook’s rank percentile (85) is similar to Clearwater Elementary School (85) and Noble Crossing Elementary School (85) but Woodbrook has lower poverty and absenteeism; its math score was lower than Clearwater’s 64.54% and Noble Crossing’s 65.81%. The 5th grade profile is uneven: 45.13% in math and 56.64% in ELA but 74.34% in social studies suggesting a subject-specific issue rather than a weak grade overall. Woodbrook’s low poverty rate moderate class sizes and high per-student spending do not explain its relative academic gap since similarly resourced same-district peers score higher. The key question is whether the 2025–2026 dip is a one-year anomaly or a longer relative decline and what math supports are in place.
