Summary

Graham Creek Elementary School is a K–6 school in Commiskey, Indiana, serving about 250 students as part of the Jennings County School Corporation. For families weighing local options, the headline is that this school ranks 186th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–26 — the 82nd percentile, with 4 stars — a substantial climb from its 2-star, 44th-percentile position in 2018–19. That places it well above its own district, which ranks 172nd of 374 statewide with 3 stars.

Test results are the clearest strength. In 2025–26, 57.64% of students were proficient in English/language arts, 69.44% in math, and 47.14% in science — roughly 23, 27, and 10 points above district averages. Among nearby schools, Graham Creek posts the highest all-grade ELA and math proficiency, ahead of Johnson Elementary School (52.73% ELA, 61.47% math) and Brush Creek Elementary School (39.73% ELA, 59.59% math). Third-grade results are especially strong: 82.5% proficient in ELA and 85% in math, versus 40.8% and 51.9% statewide. The one soft spot is 5th grade ELA at 38.24%, slightly under the state's 42.2%. Science is solid but Brush Creek does better, at 56.76%.

Attendance and resources round out the picture. Chronic absenteeism is 10.7%, well below the district's 18.6% and the state's 16.7%, and lower than nearly every nearby school except Southwestern Elementary School (7.7%). About 60.4% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, spending is $12,400 per student, and the student/teacher ratio is 13.8 — moderate figures rather than extremes. In short, Graham Creek delivers strong, steadily improving results without being the wealthiest or best-resourced school in the area.
