Summary

Eastbrook North Elementary is a K–5 school serving 304 students in the small town of Van Buren, Indiana, and is one of two elementary schools in the Eastbrook Community School Corp. In 2025-2026 it ranked 547th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (46th percentile, 2 stars), which sits below its district's own standing (124th of 374 districts, 67th percentile) — a standing carried largely by its sibling, Eastbrook South Elementary (370th of 1,015, 64th percentile, 3 stars). Across ten visible years, North has stayed in the 32nd–49th percentile band with a single 3-star exception in 2024-2025, when it reached the 60th percentile; the following year's results did not sustain that high-water mark.

The clearest pattern inside the school is a sharp split between subjects. Math proficiency is 52.94% — the highest of any school in this peer group, above the district's 44.26% — while English Language Arts sits at 35.95%, nearly 8 points below the district and in the bottom third of the group. That is roughly a 17-point math-over-ELA gap, compared with about 3 points at Eastbrook South. Performance also fades as students move up: third graders beat the state in both subjects (43.64% ELA, 65.45% math), but by fifth grade North trails the state in both (30.00% ELA, 38.00% math). Fifth-grade social studies is the weakest spot of all at 28.0% — the lowest among comparison schools that report it, and far behind Eastbrook South's 53.57%.

Attendance is a genuine bright spot: chronic absenteeism has fallen by roughly half in four years, from 23.2% in 2020-2021 to 11.5% in 2024-2025, now below both the district and the state (16.7%). About 55.92% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — higher than Eastbrook South (43.75%) — and the school spends $11,254 per student with a 15.2 student-to-teacher ratio, the second-lowest in the group. Salamonie Elementary School is North's closest academic twin (math 52.45%, ELA 36.36%), offering the most useful nearby benchmark.

Open Quote Moved into this school district and while my child had problems with some students being unkind, the staff, counselor and principal ALL stepped in to help my child. They were conscious of the issues and made every effort to stop the problems. The nicest, most caring staff I have ever seen. Our children have attended 4 elementary schools and this staff is the best. Close Quote

Open Quote My grandchildren transferred from a private Christian school, shocked was the word for it, the staff was fantastic, the principle was the best I have ever seen. My grandchildren never want to miss a day, my shy little grandson has broken out of his shyness and is a social butterfly now. The education is move advanced so there was some catch up and they have worked on it and are getting them caught up. Close Quote
