Summary

Culver Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Culver, Indiana, serving 386 students as part of Culver Community Schools Corp. The school has been on a clear upward path: it ranked 351st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025-2026 (65th percentile, 3 stars), up from 497th (51st percentile) in 2022-2023 and 635th (39th percentile, 2 stars) in 2015-2016. That places it above its own district's 54th percentile ranking, making it a relative bright spot locally.

In 2025-2026, all-grade proficiency was 56.98% in math and 55.93% in science — both above the district and ahead of most nearby schools, with science the highest among the nearby schools listed here. Third- and fourth-grade math and fourth-grade science were also well above state averages. ELA came in at 45.35%, essentially tied with Eastern Pulaski Elementary School and above Jefferson Elementary School, Menominee Elementary School, Oregon-Davis Elementary School, Webster Elementary School, Knox Community Elementary School, George M Riddle Elementary School, Argos Community Elementary and Washington Discovery Academy, though it eased from 51.22% the year before.

The clearest academic weak spot is 5th-grade social studies, at 31.58% proficient versus 47.2% statewide — below Argos and Oregon-Davis. Fifth-grade math and ELA, however, were still top among nearby 5th grades. Chronic absenteeism was 11.7%, better than the district (16.1%) and state (16.7%) but higher than Jefferson (2.7%), Knox (3.0%) and Webster (4.6%). Culver spends $20,345 per student — far above nearby schools — while serving a higher-poverty population (61.14% free/reduced lunch) than the nearby average, a notable context for judging results.
