Summary

Tipton Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Tipton, Indiana, serving 621 students as part of the Tipton Community School Corp, and it ranks 184th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 82nd percentile with 4 stars and the best showing in its recent history. That is a big jump from 405th of 1,011 in 2023–2024, when it sat in the 60th percentile with 3 stars.

Test scores are the school's standout strength, especially in math. In 2025–2026, 53.47% of students were proficient in English language arts, 65.02% in math, and 55.05% in science. Tipton's math result is the highest among nearby schools — ahead of Hinkle Creek Elementary School (63.90), White River Elementary School (59.58), Maple Crest STEM Elementary School (55.56), Hamilton Heights Elementary School (52.62), Sheridan Elementary School (43.57), Tri Central Elementary School (36.17), Boulevard Elementary School (30.67), Taylor Elementary School (27.37), and Elwood Intermediate School (26.20). Tipton also beats Indiana's averages in every grade-level subject reported and outperforms its own district in all three major subjects, most dramatically in math (65.02 vs. 44.98). Gains have been broad: all-grade ELA rose from 38.94% in 2023–2024 to 53.47%, and 5th-grade social studies climbed from 41.9% to 59.09%.

Chronic absenteeism is the main area to watch: 12.4% in 2024–2025 is well below Indiana's 16.7% and far better than Taylor Elementary School (24.5%) or Elwood Intermediate School (20.1%), though several nearby schools, including Hinkle Creek Elementary School and White River Elementary School, have lower rates. The trend is encouraging, down from 34.0% in 2021–2022. Tipton also gets strong results with moderate resources — $9,513 per student in 2023–2024, far less than White River's $12,991 despite similar poverty rates — and outperforms schools in higher-ranked districts such as Noblesville Schools and Hamilton Heights School Corp.
