Summary
Roanoke Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Roanoke, IN, serving 402 students as part of the Huntington County Com School Corp, a district ranked 160th of 374 Indiana districts (57th percentile, 3 stars), while the school itself ranks 271st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–26 — 73rd percentile, 4 stars. After a 47th-percentile, 2-star year in 2018–19, Roanoke Elementary School climbed into 4-star, 70th–79th percentile territory from 2023–24 through 2025–26, peaking at 209th of 1,005 (79th percentile) in 2024–25.
Among nearby schools in the same district, Roanoke leads in math and science: its 2025–26 all-grade ILEARN math score of 60.93% is far ahead of Flint Springs Elementary (48.62%), Horace Mann Elementary (40.21%), and Lincoln Elementary School (27.60%), and its science score of 55.38% is also highest in that group, though Horace Mann is close. In ELA, Flint Springs is slightly ahead (46.79% vs. 45.12%). Grade-level math is consistently above state in grades 3, 4, and 5, all above 54%. Fifth-grade ELA (40.54%) is the only tested grade and subject below the state's 42.2%. Against nearby out-of-district schools, Roanoke outperforms Covington Elementary School and edges Whispering Meadow Elementary School in math and science, but sits below top MSD Southwest Allen County Schls schools such as Aboite Elementary School, Haverhill Elementary School, and Lafayette Meadow School.
Context matters: 29.35% of Roanoke students received free or reduced lunch in 2024–25 — far below Flint Springs, Horace Mann, and Lincoln (55.95% to 81.71%) and closer to nearby suburban schools — yet Roanoke spends less per student ($9,418 in 2023–24) than every listed nearby school. Chronic absenteeism rose to 10.4% in 2024–25, still below the district's 14.8% and the state's 16.7%, but much higher than the MSD Southwest Allen schools, which report near-zero rates. Overall, this is a solid, improving school with clear math and science strengths and a couple of areas to watch.
