Summary
Brooks School Elementary is a PK–4 school in Fishers, Indiana, serving 715 students as part of Hamilton Southeastern Schools, one of Indiana's strongest districts (ranked 6th of 374 statewide, 5 stars). Brooks School Elementary is a 5-star school in its own right, ranking 70th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–26 — the top 7% of the state. Its rank has generally sat near the top 10% for years, reaching 57th in 2022–23 and dipping to 123rd in 2024–25.
Academically, Brooks scores above both district and state averages. In 2025–26 ILEARN All Grades results, it reached 69.43% in English language arts, 68.39% in math, and 67.01% in science, with grade-level scores far ahead of the state in every subject. ELA rebounded sharply after a 2024–25 dip, while math has drifted down for several years, from 72.08% in 2022–23 to 68.39% in 2025–26. Grade-level math now sits below the district's averages, making it the clearest academic opportunity. Among nearby Hamilton Southeastern elementaries, Brooks ranks 6th of 10 — behind Thorpe Creek Elementary School, Southeastern Elementary School, Geist Elementary School, Sand Creek Elementary School, and Fall Creek Elementary School, but ahead of Deer Creek Elementary School, Cumberland Road Elementary School, Fishers Elementary School, and Hoosier Road Elementary School.
The biggest non-academic concern is attendance. Brooks' 13.7% chronic absenteeism rate in 2024–25 is nearly double the district's 7.3% and the highest among the nearby HSE elementaries listed — even schools with higher poverty rates, such as Sand Creek and Fishers, are far lower. Attendance would likely be a major lever for further improvement. On the plus side, Brooks spends less per student ($9,710 in 2023–24) than every nearby HSE school compared, yet still performs above district and state averages, and its student–teacher ratio improved to 15.3 in 2024–25. For context, Promise Road Elementary in Noblesville Schools scores far lower in every subject despite similar spending.
