of 1,015 Indiana Elementary Schools

Better than 98% of Indiana elementary schools

Summary

Center Grove Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 691 students in Greenwood, Indiana, part of the high-performing Center Grove Community School Corp, and it currently ranks 25th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 98th percentile, 5 stars — a sharp jump from 111th the year before and its best result in the recent data.

That ranking reflects strength across the board. On 2025–26 ILEARN tests, Center Grove Elementary School led every nearby school in ELA (76.49% proficient), math (76.35%), science (64.49%), and 5th-grade social studies (71.05%), beating the next-closest school, North Grove Elementary School, by roughly 9 points in ELA and 8.5 in math, and finishing above district averages in every subject. Fourth grade is especially strong, at 80.43% in ELA and 81.16% in math. The one relatively modest spot is 5th-grade math at 67.54%, which trails Pleasant Crossing Elementary (69.74%) but still far exceeds district and state averages. This is not a one-year fluke: the school has generally ranked between the 91st and 98th percentiles since 2016–17.

Other numbers parents may care about: chronic absenteeism is just 4.1%, compared with 9.4% district-wide and 16.7% statewide, and its free/reduced lunch rate of 15.92% is the lowest among the nearby schools compared here. Per-pupil spending is $8,836, lower than every nearby school, and its student-teacher ratio of 19.3 is higher than most peers — an interesting pattern, though not proof of cause and effect. Nearby schools with higher poverty rates, such as North Grove, still post strong scores, suggesting school practices and district support matter a great deal.
