Summary
Battle Ground Elementary School is a K–5 school with 652 students in Battle Ground, Indiana, part of the Tippecanoe School Corp. It is currently rated a 4-star school and ranked 273rd out of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026, the 73rd percentile. That is a strong position, though a bit below its 2020–2021 peak at the 88th percentile. The school has earned 4 stars in every year shown since 2015–2016 except 2016–2017, when it earned 3 stars.
On tests, Battle Ground sits at or slightly above the district average in English Language Arts, math, and science. Its clearest strengths are 5th grade social studies (59.65%, far above the state's 47.2%) and science, plus a solid 5th grade ELA result. The main academic concern is upper-grade math: 5th grade math proficiency is 40.35%, more than 12 percentage points below the district's 52.44%, and math results slide from 3rd grade through 5th grade. Among nearby schools in the same district, Klondike Elementary School ranks a bit higher (78th percentile), while Hershey Elementary School (89th percentile) and Burnett Creek Elementary School (93rd percentile) post notably higher scores. Battle Ground compares well against many Lafayette city schools, especially in science and social studies.
Roughly 36% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school spends $10,010 per student — less than most nearby districts — with a student-teacher ratio of 16.7. Chronic absenteeism is 10.3%, better than the state's 16.7% but higher than Klondike, Burnett Creek, Hershey, and West Lafayette Elementary School. Notably, Battle Ground achieves stronger results than Frontier Elementary, which serves a similar share of low-income students but spends considerably more per student. Overall, it is a solid, above-average choice, with room to grow in upper-grade math and attendance.
