Summary

Sheridan Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 520 students in grades PK-5 in Sheridan, Indiana, which is part of the Sheridan Community Schools district. While the school's test scores are generally on par with or slightly above the district average, they lag behind the state averages in many subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 44.7% of Sheridan Elementary students were proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to 40.3% statewide.

Sheridan Elementary has also seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 12.0% in 2022-2023 to 19.2% in 2022-2023 and 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the school has increased from 30.64% in 2021-2022 to 46.73% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. When compared to nearby higher-performing schools, such as Carey Ridge Elementary in Westfield and Union Elementary in Zionsville, Sheridan Elementary lags behind in key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism.

To improve, Sheridan Elementary may need to focus on addressing attendance issues, providing additional support for economically disadvantaged students, and learning from the best practices of the higher-performing nearby schools in the Westfield-Washington and Zionsville Community Schools districts.
