Summary

Southeast Fountain Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 502 students in Veedersburg, a small town in rural Fountain County, Indiana, and it is the only elementary in the Southeast Fountain School Corp — which also makes it the largest elementary in its corner of the state.

The school is on a clear upswing. In 2025–26, Southeast Fountain Elementary ranked 471st of 1,015 Indiana schools (54th percentile), regaining a 3-star rating for the first time since 2020–21 and improving 70 spots in a single year. Reading (42.7%) and math (46.2%) proficiency both beat its own district by roughly 8 and 12 points, and among nearby schools serving similarly high-poverty populations it posts the strongest reading and math results of the group. Attendance is a standout: chronic absenteeism is 7.8%, less than half the state's 16.7%, and down 44% over three years. Staffing looks favorable too, with a student–teacher ratio of 13.4 that has improved three years running, and per-student spending of $11,037 sitting at about the regional median.

The weaknesses are concentrated rather than broad. Fourth grade is the most exposed: reading sits at 32.9% (9.3 points below the state) and science at 35.5% (8.3 points below). Fifth grade is a puzzle — students score 50.6% in reading and social studies, both above state averages, but only 28.9% in math, 13 points behind. Third-grade math (61.3%), by contrast, is a genuine strength. Covington Elementary School, about nine miles away, posts higher math and science while spending 19% less per student, though Southeast Fountain outperforms it in reading. Mollie B Hoover Elementary School, a higher-poverty school 18 miles away, shows nearly the opposite grade-level pattern — a sign that building-level factors matter a great deal here.
