Summary

Suncrest Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Frankfort, IN serving 545 students as part of the Community Schools of Frankfort, a district ranked 248th of 374 in Indiana (34th percentile, 2 stars). Suncrest's own 2025–26 rank is 699th of 1,015 (31st percentile, 2 stars), placing it in the bottom third of Indiana elementary schools and below every nearby school with a reported rank. About 60.55% of students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, the highest rate among nearby schools, and per-pupil spending was $9,321 in 2023–24 — less than same-district Green Meadows Intermediate ($10,115) and Blue Ridge Primary ($10,353).

Academically, Suncrest trails its neighbors. On 2025–26 ILEARN, all-grade proficiency was 35.37% in ELA, 33.2% in Math, and 27.5% in Science, with 5th-grade Social Studies at 27.85%. Math and Science are the lowest among all nearby schools, and ELA falls below Green Meadows Intermediate (46.24%), Wyandotte Elementary (50.97%), and Thorntown Elementary School (66.53%), among others. Suncrest also serves the highest-poverty population nearby — 60.55% free/reduced lunch in 2024–25, above Green Meadows Intermediate (52.15%) and Wyandotte Elementary (30.46%) — while spending less per student than most neighbors. Its student/teacher ratio (17.0) is mid-range, and chronic absenteeism (9.9%) beats the district (10.8%) and state (16.7%) but trails Thorntown Elementary School (4.5%) and Rossville Elementary School (6.2%).

The encouraging news is steady improvement. Suncrest's rank percentile rose from 19 in 2023–24 to 26 in 2024–25 to 31 in 2025–26, while all-grade ELA proficiency climbed from 21.85% to 29.83% to 35.37% and Math from 25.63% to 32.22% to 33.2%. Chronic absenteeism fell from 31.3% in 2020–21 to 9.9% in 2024–25, a clear success story. The biggest red flags remain math, especially 5th grade at 22.5% versus 42% statewide, plus science and social studies. Context matters: Community Schools of Frankfort ranks in the 34th percentile, while nearby Western Boone County Com School District (91st percentile, 5 stars) and Rossville Con School District (84th percentile, 4 stars) rank far higher, so some challenges are district-wide.
