Summary

Perry Worth Elementary School is a K–5 school in Lebanon, Indiana (Boone County) serving 601 students, making it the largest of the four elementaries in the Lebanon Community School Corp. For 2025–26 it ranks 357th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 65th percentile, or 3 stars — a bit above its own district's 60th-percentile profile. Still, the school has historically been stronger than that: it held a 4-star rating for seven consecutive years through 2022–23, dipped to 2 stars in 2024–25, and has now partially rebounded.

Perry Worth leads its district in English/language arts (49.1% proficient) and science (46.8%), and beats district averages in three of four tested subjects. Its standout result is third-grade math at 69.7% proficient — roughly 18 points above the state average and the strongest single figure among Lebanon elementaries. It does this on the lowest per-pupil spending in the comparison group ($9,677 in 2023–24) and the largest class loads in its district (16.4 students per teacher). The clearest weakness is a steep fade by grade level: by fifth grade, math (37.0%) and social studies (45.2%) fall below both district and state averages.

Geography creates sharp contrasts. Boone Meadow, about four miles away in Zionsville Community Schools, posts 65.4% ELA and 78.2% math proficiency, and Zionsville Pleasant View Elementary School ranks among the state's top schools — but those schools serve far fewer students from low-income families (2.9–12.3% free/reduced lunch versus 42.9% here). A closer demographic peer, Fishback Creek Public Academy, records higher ELA and math proficiency while sitting in a lower-ranked district. Two trends to watch: free/reduced lunch eligibility rose from 29.5% to 42.9% in two years, and chronic absenteeism (12.2%) beats the district and state but trails Central Elementary School, Harney Elementary School, and Hattie B Stokes Elementary School.
