Summary

Millersburg Elementary School is a K–6 school in Millersburg, IN, part of Fairfield Community Schools, enrolling 296 students in a relatively low-poverty community. Overall, its district is strong—Fairfield Community Schools ranks 78th of 374 in Indiana, at the 79th percentile with 4 stars—but the school itself ranked 458th of 1,015 in 2025–2026, at the 55th percentile with 3 stars. It has a 15.0 student-teacher ratio and spent $11,485 per student in 2023–2024.

Academics are the main concern. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 35.82% in ELA, 51.49% in math, and 31.75% in science, all below district averages. The school also trails its same-district peers: New Paris Elementary School and Benton Elementary School scored higher in every subject. The school’s rank has fallen from the 85th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 55th percentile in 2025–2026, and it dropped from 4 stars to 3 stars. Sixth grade is a major red flag, with ELA at 22.22% and science at 19.44%. Bright spots: 3rd grade math (60.0%), 5th grade math (58.06%), 4th grade science (48.15%), and 5th grade social studies (61.29%) are above district or state levels, and 5th grade social studies has risen sharply.

Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism is 6.9%, below the district’s 9.5% and far below the state’s 16.7%. Nearby, New Paris Elementary School is similar at 6.8% and Topeka Elementary School at 7.5%, while Chamberlain Elementary School (17.7%), Prairie View Elementary School (15.1%), West Noble Primary School (14.4%), and West Goshen Elementary School (12.1%) are much higher. The school’s free/reduced lunch rate is 21.96%, lower than many nearby schools, including Syracuse Elementary School (44.42%), Topeka Elementary School (43.55%), and West Noble Primary School (59.71%). Its $11,485 per-student spending is higher than New Paris and Benton but lower than most other-district neighbors, and its 15.0 student-teacher ratio is better than New Paris and Benton but higher than Topeka, Chamberlain, Waterford Elementary School, West Noble Primary, Parkside Elementary School, and Prairie View. With 296 students—second-smallest after Topeka Elementary School—results can swing year to year, but low absenteeism and relatively low poverty give it a strong foundation.
