Summary

Laurel School is a small public elementary school at 13246 SR 121 in Laurel, Indiana, serving roughly 245 students in grades PK–6 as part of the Franklin County Community School Corp.

Laurel has fallen to the bottom quarter of Indiana elementary schools: it ranked 759th of 1,015 in 2025–2026 (25th percentile, 1 star), down from the 50th percentile and 3 stars in 2022–2023. In 2025–2026, all-grades ILEARN proficiency was 26.05% in both English Language Arts and Math and 23.21% in Science — below the district's 37.58%, 35.96%, and 36.88%. Its Math and Science results are the lowest among nearby schools with test data. Same-district Brookville Elementary School sits at the 55th percentile with ELA 40.81%, Math 48.66%, and Science 37.50%, while Fayette Central Elementary reaches the 75th percentile (4 stars) despite a higher poverty rate. Within Laurel, 4th grade ELA is a bright spot at 57.14%, above both district and state, but 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades are weak; 5th grade ELA (13.79%) and Math (17.24%) and 6th grade Science (10.71%) are the lowest nearby.

Chronic absenteeism rose to 17.4% in 2024–2025 from 6.8% in 2021–2022, now slightly above the state average. About 62.04% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, down from 78.37% in 2022–2023. Per-student spending was $12,848 and the student–teacher ratio 12.5 — among the most favorable in the comparison group — yet outcomes still lag: Milroy Elementary School spends $13,902 with a ratio of 9.3 and posts Math 55.95% and Science 41.03%. Because Laurel is small, single-grade percentages can swing widely from year to year, so the multi-year trend is the more reliable signal. The highest-leverage areas appear to be 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade math and ELA, 6th grade science, and attendance.
