Summary

Creekside Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Franklin, Indiana, serving 517 students as part of the Franklin Community School Corp. In 2025–2026 it ranked 258th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 75th percentile with 4 stars — noticeably stronger than its district's overall 53rd-percentile, 3-star standing. Creekside has landed between the 56th and 80th percentile over the past decade, and its latest result improves on both 2023–2024 (66th percentile, 3 stars) and 2024–2025 (72nd percentile, 4 stars).

Math is the clearest strength: 62.01% of students were proficient in math, more than 20 points above the district's 41.72%, and 4th-grade math reached 65.56%, well above the state's 52%. ELA is solid and improving at 53.63% overall, with 4th grade at 61.11% versus the state's 42.2%, though 3rd-grade ELA (46.07%) is only slightly above district and state averages. Science is the relative weak spot at 45.56%, below the district's 48.53% and the lowest among Franklin's five PK–4 elementaries, even though it tops the state's 4th-grade science rate of 43.8%. Within Franklin, Creekside ranks second only to Union Elementary School, ahead of Webb Elementary School, Needham Elementary School, and Northwood Elementary School in overall rank, ELA, and math.

Attendance is a major plus: chronic absenteeism was 9.7% in 2024–2025, far below the district's 16.4% and the state's 16.7%. About 53% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch, yet Creekside outperforms Webb Elementary School and Northwood Elementary School academically and has much better attendance than Webb, Whiteland Elementary School, and Break-O-Day Elementary School. Per-student spending was $10,886 — the lowest among Franklin's elementaries — and the student-teacher ratio was 17.2, moderate-to-large but in line with Break-O-Day and Walnut Grove Elementary School. Creekside's math also beats Whiteland, Walnut Grove, and Indian Creek Intermediate School, though Maple Grove Elementary School and the Center Grove schools rank higher overall; note that several of these neighbors serve grades Creekside does not, so all-grade comparisons are not perfectly even. Overall, Creekside is a solid, improving school with strong math and excellent attendance.
