Summary
Grassy Creek Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Greenwood, Indiana, serving 847 students as part of the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corp, and it is the largest elementary school in its nearby comparison group. In 2025–2026 it ranked 218th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 79th percentile, a 4-star rating, and its best rank in the available history. That followed a dip in 2024–2025, when it ranked 397th of 1,005 (60th percentile, 3 stars), so the latest results are a strong rebound. Among nearby schools, only Pleasant Crossing Elementary ranked slightly higher.
Academically, Grassy Creek's 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency rates were 57.36% in English language arts, 56.16% in math, 61.54% in science, and 51.3% in 5th-grade social studies — all above Clark-Pleasant district averages and above Indiana state rates where grade-level comparisons are available. Science is the school's standout: at 61.54%, it is the highest among all nearby schools and far above the district's 44.27%, topping peers such as Greenwood Northeast Elementary School (58.46%), Westwood Elementary School (49.41%), Pleasant Crossing Elementary (39.18%), and Ray Crowe Elementary (32.22%). ELA and math are solid but not top locally, with Pleasant Crossing Elementary ahead in both. Fifth-grade math, at 46.09%, is a relative weak spot — below the district's 51.92%, though still above the state's 42%.
Beyond test scores, the biggest concern is chronic absenteeism, which rose to 25.0% in 2024–2025 — the highest rate among nearby schools and well above the district's 19.2% and the state's 16.7%. It was just 11.5% in 2023–2024, so the jump is notable. About 51% of students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, lower than every same-district nearby school, and per-student spending was $9,435 in 2023–2024, the lowest among nearby schools. The student-teacher ratio of 15.6 is mid-pack and a major improvement from 23.2 the prior year.
