Summary

Hinkle Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Noblesville, Indiana, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 908 students. The school is part of the Noblesville Schools district, which is ranked 21 out of 380 districts in Indiana and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Hinkle Creek Elementary School consistently ranks among the top 20% of Indiana elementary schools, with strong academic performance that exceeds the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 59.77% in English Language Arts, 64.83% in Math, and 62.77% in Science, outperforming the Noblesville Schools district in all three subjects. However, the school has experienced a gradual increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.1% in 2020-2021 to 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district average. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Hinkle Creek Elementary School has increased from 13.64% in 2021-2022 to 20.26% in 2023-2024, suggesting a more diverse socioeconomic population compared to some nearby schools.

When comparing Hinkle Creek Elementary School to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is generally higher than other schools within the Noblesville Schools district, such as Noble Crossing Elementary and White River Elementary. However, some schools outside the Noblesville district, such as Monon Trail Elementary and Prairie Trace Elementary, have even higher academic performance than Hinkle Creek Elementary. The school's higher spending per student compared to the state average and some nearby schools may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support for students, but further analysis would be needed to understand the impact of these investments.
