Summary

Indian Creek Intermediate School is a public school in Trafalgar, Indiana, serving 513 students in grades 3–5 as part of the Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson United district. For 2025–26 it ranked 417 of 1,015 Indiana schools (59th percentile, 3 stars) — down from top-quartile, 4-star standing in the late 2010s, when it reached the 80th percentile in 2016–17 and 2017–18. The district overall ranks 115 of 374 (69th percentile), so the school currently trails its own district's standing.

Academically, math is the bright spot: proficiency was 53.42%, above the district and above the state at every tested grade, including 49.34% in 5th-grade math versus the state's 42.0%. English language arts is mixed at 43.44% — 3rd and 5th grades beat the state, but 4th grade came in at 35.8% against the state's 42.2%. Science is the clearest weakness, at 33.52% in 4th grade — more than 10 points below the state's 43.8% and the lowest among nearby schools, including Maple Grove Elementary School (57.85%), Walnut Grove Elementary School (53.28%), and Union Elementary School (64.29%). Fourth grade is the specific pressure point, with both ELA and science below state.

One standout strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism was just 6.3% in 2024–25, less than half Indiana's 16.7% and better than most nearby schools. Student-teacher ratio, however, has climbed to 17.8 from 15.7 in 2022–23, higher than the same-district Indian Creek Elementary School (15.4). Overall, this is a mid-performing school with solid math, strong attendance, and clear room to grow in 4th-grade ELA and science.
