Summary
Carl G Fisher Elementary School 1 is a PK–6 school in Speedway, Indiana, serving 127 students as part of the School Town of Speedway, a top-ranked district and the smallest elementary school in this comparison group. In 2025–2026, Fisher ranked 73rd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars), and its district ranked 16th of 374 districts (96th percentile, 5 stars).
Academically, Fisher is strong: 2025–2026 all-grade ELA was 69.23%, math 66.15%, and science 66.67%, above the Speedway district and far above nearby non-Speedway schools, where top ELA and math scores were only about 22.75% and 26.73%. Within Speedway, Fisher is second in ELA and math and first in science; James A Allison Elementary School 3 scored higher in ELA (75.47%) and math (71.70%), while Fisher led in science. Fifth grade was a standout, with ELA, math, and social studies all at 81.82%, and 6th grade science at 73.68%. Soft spots include 3rd grade ELA (53.33%), 4th grade math (55.00%), and 4th grade science (60.00%), though all were above state averages. Because cohorts are small, single grade-level results can swing.
Other factors matter for families. In 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 14.3%, below Indiana’s 16.7% but more than double the School Town of Speedway rate of 6.4% and higher than same-district peers like Frank H Wheeler Elementary School 4 and Arthur C Newby Elementary School 2. Fisher has a lower free/reduced lunch rate (48.82%), a low student-teacher ratio (12.7), and high per-student spending ($16,534 in 2023–2024), though nearby schools such as Ernie Pyle School 90 - a Paideia School and Clarence Farrington School 61 - an Exploratory School spend more with much lower proficiency. Overall, Fisher’s trajectory is positive: its state rank rose from 66th percentile in 2018–2019 to 93rd percentile in 2025–2026, with two recent 5-star years.
