Summary

Union Elementary School is a PK–4 school serving 453 students in Zionsville, Indiana, part of the Zionsville Community Schools district, located in an affluent, low-poverty suburban pocket where just 2.87% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — the lowest rate among its peer schools.

Union ranks among the top 3% of Indiana elementary schools, earning five stars every year on record. Its standout strength is math: 81.48% proficiency in 2025–26, roughly 13.7 points above its district and well above the statewide figure near 52%. Within its own district it trails only Zionsville Pleasant View Elementary School (87.04) in math and clearly leads Trailside Elementary School (76.89) and Eagle Elementary School (65.93). Reading is comparatively the soft spot. Union's ELA proficiency of 66.67% is only about 1.2 points above its district, and its 3rd grade ELA (63.04) actually falls below the district average — the only 2025–26 measure where Union trails. Fourth grade ELA jumps to 70.1, while math is nearly identical across grades (81.52 in 3rd, 81.44 in 4th), pointing to a consistent math program rather than one strong cohort. Science is solid and improving at 77.32%.

Attendance is exceptional: chronic absenteeism of 2.2% is less than half the district's 5.5% and roughly one-seventh of the state's 16.7%. Union spends $11,849 per student (2023–24) — less than Pleasant View, Eagle, and most Carmel Clay Schools and Westfield-Washington Schools peers — yet outranks several that spend more, at a 14.7:1 student-teacher ratio. The main watch items are a 2022–23 dip and a recent math decline from 86.15% to 81.48%, though math remains far above district. For families, Union is an elite, math-forward school whose clearest opportunity for growth is reading.
