Summary

Brentwood Elementary School is a K–5 school at 1630 E Oliver St in Plainfield, Indiana, serving 420 students — the smallest enrollment among the schools compared here — as part of Plainfield Community School Corp, a district ranked 22nd of 374 Indiana districts. Statewide, the school ranks 121st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (88th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026, placing it in the top roughly 12% of the state.

Brentwood's standout result is math: 69.34% proficiency, about 11 points above its district average and essentially tied with Van Buren Elementary School (69.92%) as the best in the district — even though Brentwood has the highest poverty rate of any Plainfield elementary (52.14% free/reduced lunch). Its third-grade math score of 80.88% is the highest for any grade and subject among the nine schools compared, and 29 points above the state's third-grade mark. Compare that with Clarks Creek Elementary, 0.12 miles away, which spends 14.5% more per student ($12,078 vs. $10,550) yet posts about 14 points lower math proficiency. Avon's Cedar Elementary School, Maple Elementary School, Pine Tree Elementary School, and Hickory Elementary School serve similar poverty levels but spend $1,200–$2,400 more per student.

But those advantages narrow in the upper grades. Fifth-grade math falls to 55.07% — a 25.8-point drop from the school's own third grade — and ELA (60.38%) is below the district average, the only Plainfield elementary besides Clarks Creek below it. Brentwood's statewide rank slid from the 97th percentile in 2015–2016 to an 80th-percentile low in 2024–2025 before rebounding to 88th. Chronic absenteeism, while far below the district (11.7%) and state (16.7%) at 9.8%, has risen from 6.4% over two years as poverty climbed about 9 points.
