Summary

East Crawford Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 233 students in Milltown, Indiana, a small community in Crawford County, and it is part of the Crawford County Community School Corp. The district as a whole is rated 2 stars (47th percentile in Indiana), but East Crawford ranked 193rd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 81st percentile, with 4 stars. It has held 4 stars for four straight years after earlier years of 2 to 3 stars, so the improvement looks lasting rather than a one-year spike.

The most useful comparison is within its own district. East Crawford's English/language arts proficiency (53.77%) is 30–35 points higher than West Crawford Elementary School and South Crawford Elementary School, with similarly large gaps in math and science — and it does this while spending less per student ($11,910) than either. Its scores beat the district in every core subject, and math and science are signature strengths: all-grade math was 66.04%, and 4th grade math reached 81.4%, about 29 points above the state. The clearest weak spot is 3rd grade ELA at 33.33%, below the state's 40.8%, though still well above the district's 20.24%. Notably, 59.23% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — far more than Georgetown Elementary School (24.73%) or Lanesville Elementary School (28.5%) — yet East Crawford posts comparable or better science results.

Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 26.1% in 2021–2022 to 12.0% in 2024–2025, now below both the district (12.7%) and the state (16.7%), although Greenville Elementary School (5.4%) and Georgetown (7.8%) remain lower. Class sizes have also improved, from 17.7:1 to 16.2:1. Overall, East Crawford produces strong results with a high-poverty population and moderate spending; the main opportunities are early literacy and closing the remaining attendance gap with top nearby schools.
