Summary

Cumberland Road Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Fishers, Indiana, serving 521 students as part of Hamilton Southeastern Schools, one of the top-ranked districts in Indiana. In 2025–26 the school ranked 102nd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 90th percentile with a 5-star rating, and its second-best result on record behind only 2022–23 (98th). A decade earlier it sat in the 65th–66th percentile with 3 stars, so this is a story of steady long-term improvement.

Attendance is a standout strength: chronic absenteeism was 6.4% in 2024–25, better than the district's 7.3% and far below the state's 16.7%. Only Lantern Road Elementary School (3.8%), Hoosier Road Elementary School (5.2%), and New Britton Elementary School (5.4%) had lower rates among nearby district schools, while Brooks School Elementary ranked higher academically but had more than double Cumberland Road's absenteeism (13.7%). About 36.66% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — second-highest among nearby same-district schools — and that share rose from 30% in 2022–23 even as absenteeism fell and scores rebounded. Per-student spending ($12,208) and class size (ratio 15.1) are close to peer averages.

Academically, 2025–26 scores were ELA 64.42%, Math 68.27%, and Science 63.54% — all well above state averages, with Science closing from 8.15 points below the district in 2024–25 to just 0.73 points below in 2025–26. Grade-level gaps remain: 4th grade ELA is 5.18 points below district, and 3rd grade Math is 7.07 points below. Within its district, Cumberland Road sits mid-pack — behind New Britton, Harrison Parkway Elementary School, Sand Creek Elementary, and Brooks, but ahead of Lantern Road, Fishers Elementary School, and Hoosier Road. It comfortably outperforms Stony Creek Elementary School and Promise Road Elementary in Noblesville Schools, while Prairie Trace Elementary School in Carmel Clay Schools (14th statewide) represents the area's ceiling.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, January 23, 2016

My child attended for kindergarten. The classes were really large - 1 teacher to approximately 26 kids. And, there were about 5 classrooms of kindergartens. The facility was not sufficient to house the kids, the playground was beaten down and the congestion with the bus depot, the elementary school, the middle school and the administration building and all the other growth on 131st and SR 37 made the school a logistical nightmare for pickup and dropoff.

My child came from a really strong academic preschool and tested really well on the NWEA at the start of school. By winter break her NWEA scores dropped 15+ points. And, compared to her friends at other schools the curriculum was about 2 to 3 months behind the other kids. While most kids started baggie books and sight words the first week of August. Their class did not start sight words until mid-September and baggie books until a week a before Thanksgiving.

I would not recommend this school or the administration. Ultimately, we switched to a private school. Close Quote
