Summary

Thorpe Creek Elementary is a PK–4 school in Fishers, Indiana, enrolling 607 students as part of Hamilton Southeastern Schools, a district ranked 6th of 374 in the state at the 98th percentile. Thorpe Creek itself is also a top performer: in 2025–2026 it ranked 20th of 1,015 Indiana schools, at the 98th percentile with 5 stars. It has earned 5 stars in each of the last four years, capping a clear upward shift from 112th in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022.

Academically, the school's strongest subjects are math and science. All-grade math proficiency was 80.31%, the highest among nearby same-district schools such as Southeastern Elementary School (77.74%), Fall Creek Elementary School (76.03%), and Geist Elementary School (75.97%). Science proficiency was 69.01% — also the top mark among those peers, above the district's 64.27%, and more than 25 points above the state's Grade 4 science result. English Language Arts is strong too, at 73.36%; only Southeastern edges slightly higher, and Thorpe Creek still sits well above the district's 66.43%. Grade 4 math (83.8%) and Grade 4 ELA (71.13%) both far exceed state levels.

Attendance and student context round out the picture. Chronic absenteeism was 3.9%, less than half the district rate (7.3%) and far below the state's 16.7%; only Southeastern Elementary School (2.7%) and Geist Elementary School (3.8%) were marginally lower. The free/reduced-price lunch rate was 12.03%, the lowest among the nearby same-district schools listed here. The school spent $12,040 per student in 2023–2024 with a 16.3 student-teacher ratio — slightly higher than most peers — so its results are not simply a matter of small classes or extra spending. Compared with schools outside the district, Thorpe Creek substantially outperforms Promise Road Elementary (64th percentile) and Geist Montessori Academy (33rd percentile).

Open Quote An amazing educational experience for our son. Teachers who cared about him as person and as a student. Even as the school grew from 500 to over 800 students while he was there, the level of individual instruction and educational progress never wavered. Our third elementary school with our children, and the best BY FAR! Great parent involvement and opportunities for outside enrichment. Close Quote
