Better than 95% of Indiana elementary schools

Summary

Union Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Bargersville, IN, serving 165 students as part of the Franklin Community School Corp, and it is by far the smallest school among its nearby peers. In 2025–2026 it ranked 51st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 95th percentile with 5 stars — while its own district sits at the 53rd percentile with 3 stars. That is a steady climb: Union was at the 75th percentile in 2023–2024, 89th in 2024–2025, and 95th in 2025–2026.

Academics are strong across the board. In 2025–2026, 67.27% of students were proficient in ELA, 78.18% in Math, and 64.29% in Science. Math is the standout: the highest in the nearby group, edging out Center Grove Elementary School's 76.35%. ELA is second only to Center Grove Elementary School's 76.49%, and Science is essentially tied with its 64.49%. Union also outpaces its district by +19.52 points in ELA, +36.46 in Math, and +15.76 in Science, and it beats same-district peers Northwood Elementary School and Creekside Elementary School in every subject. Third-grade Math reached 85.19% versus 51.9% statewide, and fourth-grade Math was 71.43% versus 52% statewide.

Attendance and resources look favorable too. Chronic absenteeism was 7.1% in 2024–2025, less than half the district's 16.4% and the state's 16.7%. Free/reduced lunch was 24.24%, down from 35.4% the year before, and much lower than Northwood Elementary School (60.2%) or Creekside Elementary School (53.0%). Per-student spending was $12,852, and the student-teacher ratio of 15.0 is the second-lowest nearby, after Whiteland Elementary School's 12.7. One caveat: with only 165 students, percentages can swing year to year, and Union serves PK–4 while some neighbors serve K–5 or PK–6.
