Summary

Whiteland Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Whiteland, Indiana, serving 370 students in the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corp, and it is the smallest school in its nearby comparison group. It ranked 253rd of 1,015 Indiana schools in 2025–26 (75th percentile, 4 stars) and has been a consistent 4-star school since 2015–16, with percentile ranks mostly between 72 and 82. Its district ranks 87th of 374 Indiana districts (4 stars). In short, Whiteland is solidly above average, but not the top performer in its immediate area.

In 2025–26, Whiteland outperformed its district in English Language Arts (57.77% vs. 53.2%) and Math (58.74% vs. 49.73%), while trailing slightly in Science (42.86% vs. 44.27%). Grade-level results vary quite a bit: 4th-grade Math is a genuine bright spot at 71.43%, well above the district's 58.4%, but 5th-grade Math (46.38%) and 5th-grade Social Studies (46.38%) fall below district levels, and Science is the clearest academic gap. Among nearby schools, Maple Grove Elementary School (63.83% ELA, 67.85% Math) and Pleasant Crossing Elementary (61.98% ELA, 64.64% Math) post higher results, and Grassy Creek Elementary School leads the group in Science at 61.54%.

Two other points stand out for families. Chronic absenteeism jumped from 4.3% in 2023–24 to 16.7% in 2024–25 — still the lowest among same-district schools such as Break-O-Day Elementary School (20.2%) and Ray Crowe Elementary (21.4%), but now higher than Maple Grove Elementary School (6.2%) and Westwood Elementary School (9.6%). Meanwhile, Whiteland spends $16,420 per student — the highest among nearby schools — and has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.7, with 55.95% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. It remains a strong school with a few areas worth watching.
