Summary

Sand Creek Elementary is a PK–4 school serving 520 students in Fishers, Indiana, part of Hamilton Southeastern Schools, one of Indiana's strongest districts (6th of 374 statewide). Sand Creek earned 5 stars and ranked 57th of 1,015 elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 94th percentile — a sharp jump from 246th of 1,005 (76th percentile, 4 stars) the year before. That is the strongest result in its recent history.

In 2025–2026, Sand Creek's All Grades proficiency was 69.44% in ELA, 72.22% in math and 64.49% in science, all above district averages and far above state figures (state 3rd grade ELA is 40.8%, math 51.9%). ELA is the clearest strength: 69.86% in 3rd grade and 69.16% in 4th grade, both above the district. Math and science are strong versus the state but mid-pack locally — Sand Creek's math ranks 5th of 10 nearby same-district schools and science 8th. Neighbors such as Thorpe Creek Elementary (rank 20), New Britton Elementary School (45) and Harrison Parkway Elementary School (46) post higher ranks, though Sand Creek outranks Fall Creek Elementary School (59), Brooks School Elementary (70), Deer Creek Elementary (86), Cumberland Road Elementary School (102), Fishers Elementary School (118) and Hoosier Road Elementary School (191), and beats Promise Road Elementary School in Noblesville Schools by more than 20 points in every subject.

Chronic absenteeism fell to 8.3% in 2024–2025 from 14.7% the prior year — better than the state's 16.7% but still above the district's 7.3% and higher than most nearby same-district schools. Free/reduced lunch is 27.88%, moderate locally, and per-student spending is $12,419, up 41% since 2020–2021. Overall: strong upward momentum and a clear ELA strength, with science and attendance as the gaps to watch.
