Summary

Selma Elementary School is a K–5 school in Selma, Indiana, serving 535 students as part of the Liberty-Perry Community School Corp, and it earned 4 stars in 2025–2026, ranking 289th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (72nd percentile). Its district is also strong, ranked 68th of 374 districts statewide.

Academically, Selma is one of the strongest schools in its area. In 2025–2026, 44.53% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 59.49% in math, and 56.99% in science. Among nearby schools, only Royerton Elementary School scored higher in ELA and math, and Selma had the highest science proficiency among comparable K–5 schools. Fourth grade math (69.89%) and fourth grade science (56.99%) were far above the state averages of 52.0% and 43.8%. ELA is the relative weak spot: all-grade ELA proficiency slipped from 56.99% in 2023–2024 to 44.53% in 2025–2026, and third grade ELA sat slightly below the state average. Math and science remain Selma's standout subjects.

Selma's chronic absenteeism rate of 12.9% in 2024–2025 is below the state (16.7%) and its district (17.6%), and lower than nearly every nearby school except Royerton (8.3%). Meanwhile, 55.7% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-pupil spending is $9,355 — the lowest among nearby schools — and the student/teacher ratio is 17.2, higher than most. Selma gets above-average results with relatively modest resources, outperforming Muncie-area schools such as South View Elementary School that spend far more per student. Its rank history shows a big rise into the 82nd–89th percentile range from 2020–2021 through 2023–2024, followed by a dip to the 72nd percentile in 2025–2026 — still a solid 4-star result.
