Summary

Sheridan Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Sheridan, Indiana, serving 555 students as part of Sheridan Community Schools, with a high economic need profile and academic results near state averages in several grades but below many nearby, more affluent schools. In 2025–26, it ranked 470th of 1,015 Indiana schools (54th percentile, 3 stars), down from 63rd percentile the prior year. About 47.75% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25, up from 44.42% in 2022–23. Chronic absenteeism improved to 10.4% in 2024–25, and per-student spending was $12,215 in 2023–24, with a 15.4 student–teacher ratio.

Compared with nearby elementary schools, the school's most striking difference is economic: its free/reduced lunch rate is nearly 2.5 times the nearby median and higher than every nearby school. Chronic absenteeism is roughly double the nearby median, though it remains below the district and state rates. On 2025–26 ILEARN, the school's all-grade proficiency was 41.79% in ELA, 43.57% in Math, and 45.65% in Science—at or near the bottom of the nearby group and 20.5, 27.7, and 16.3 percentage points below the nearby medians. Resources are not the main gap: per-student spending is about the same as the nearby median, and class size is slightly smaller.

For parents, the school has clear bright spots. Fourth grade exceeded state averages in ELA, Math, and Science, and Math has consistently been a relative strength schoolwide, with all-grade Math above the district average. Fifth grade is a weaker spot: it fell below state in ELA and Math, though it exceeded state in Social Studies, and third grade Math was also below state. Targeted help in 3rd and 5th grade Math and 5th grade ELA, plus attendance support, may be the most useful levers. The school's results look more favorable when compared with state averages than with its immediate, more affluent neighbors—including Hamilton Heights Elementary School and Monon Trail Elementary School, which have lower poverty and absenteeism but still generally higher test scores. Overall, the school appears to be doing reasonably well given its economic context, while facing persistent academic and attendance gaps.
