Summary
Hoosier Road Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Fishers, Indiana, serving 463 students as part of Hamilton Southeastern Schools, a district ranked 6th out of 374 in Indiana. By state standards, Hoosier Road remains a strong school: in 2025–2026 it ranked 191st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (81st percentile) with 4 stars. Still, that is down from 144th (86th percentile) in 2024–2025 and 110th (89th percentile) in 2023–2024. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 60.54% in English Language Arts, 61.08% in Math, and 54.02% in Science—all below the district's 66.43%, 68.07%, and 64.27%.
Among nearby schools in the same district, Hoosier Road now ranks lowest: New Britton Elementary School ranked 45th, Harrison Parkway Elementary School 46th, and Geist Elementary School 49th, all with 5 stars. Against the average of nine nearby same-district schools, Hoosier Road trailed by 6.32 points in ELA, 12.21 in Math, and 11.01 in Science. Third-grade Math stands out at 56.12%, 17.91 points below the district and lower than every nearby same-district school, and fourth-grade Science at 54.02% is likewise the lowest nearby. ELA has been below the district each year since 2022–2023. Notably, several nearby schools with higher poverty rates outperform Hoosier Road—so demographics alone do not explain the results.
Attendance is a clear bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 5.2% in 2024–2025, versus 7.3% for the district and 16.7% statewide, and better than most nearby schools. Resources also appear ample—per-student spending was $12,508 in 2023–2024, above the nearby average, with a 15:1 student-teacher ratio. So the 2025–2026 dip points more toward instructional or curricular factors than funding. For context, Promise Road Elementary in Noblesville Schools ranks lower (64th percentile, 3 stars) with higher poverty and lower spending, yet Hoosier Road outperforms it by roughly 9–16 points per subject. Hoosier Road is a solid, well-resourced school currently trailing an unusually strong group of neighbors—with 3rd-grade Math and 4th-grade Science the most urgent areas.
