Summary

Veterans Elementary School at Mundell is a public school in Hobart, Indiana, serving grades 1–5 with 594 students—the largest enrollment among the nearby elementary schools compared here—and is part of School City of Hobart, a district ranked 112th of 374 Indiana districts (70th percentile, 4 stars). The school is in the middle of a strong turnaround: it rose from 547th of 1,005 schools (46th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025 to 376th of 1,015 (63rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, up from the 28th percentile in 2015–2016.

On the 2025–2026 ILEARN, Veterans scored above its district average in ELA, math, and science, and above the state in ELA at every tested grade (3rd: 45.95%, 4th: 46.67%, 5th: 47.79%). Fifth-grade social studies is a standout at 54.46%, above both district and state. Math is uneven: 3rd grade is strong at 60.36%, but 4th grade (49.17%) falls below district and state, and 5th grade (37.17%) is substantially below both—making upper-elementary math the clearest area to watch. Fourth-grade science (42.5%) roughly matches the district and is slightly below the state's 43.8%.

Attendance is a major strength: chronic absenteeism fell from 12.3% to 7.3%, well below the district's 10.7% and the state's 16.7%. Among nearby schools, only Liberty Elementary School (5.2%) is lower. Veterans has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (67.68%) among the Hobart elementaries listed and the lowest per-student spending ($10,076), yet posts the highest ELA proficiency among them. It also generally outperforms out-of-district peers that spend far more: Glen Park Academy for Excel in Learning spends $17,768 per student with 7.34% math proficiency, and Virgil I Bailey Elementary School spends $12,192 with 28.15%, versus Veterans' 48.84%. John Wood Elementary School is the main exception in ELA and math but has much lower science. With strong attendance and rising ELA, the school is well positioned to grow further if 4th- and 5th-grade math and science improve.
