Summary

Heth-Washington Elementary School is a small PK–6 school in Central, Indiana, serving 162 students as part of the South Harrison Com Schools district. It ranked 425th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 58th percentile with 3 stars — a rebound from 45th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024.

The school serves a high-poverty population: 78.4% of students received free or reduced-price lunch, the highest rate among nearby schools, including same-district peers South Central Elementary School (44.77%) and New Middletown Elementary School (52.5%). Even so, chronic absenteeism was 14.9%, better than the district's 18.9% and the state's 16.7%. Science and social studies are clear strengths: all-grades science proficiency of 61.9% tops the district (46.94%) and exceeds Lanesville Elementary School (59.32%) and East Crawford Elementary School (60.47%). Sixth-grade science reached 72.73%, and fifth-grade social studies 63.64%, both well above district and state.

Core subjects lag, especially math. All-grades math was 35.63% versus the district's 45.05%, and ELA 41.38% versus 51.89%; math has fallen from 56.94% in 2022–2023. Grade-level results are uneven: third-grade ELA (8.7%) and math (21.74%) are far below district and state, while sixth-grade ELA (63.64%), math (59.09%) and science (72.73%) beat both. With roughly 20–25 students per grade, a single cohort can swing results, so these gaps should be read cautiously. Per-student spending was $13,593 in 2023–2024.
