Summary

Oak Hill Elementary School is a K–5 school in Lowell, Indiana, serving 487 students in the Tri-Creek School Corporation, a district that ranks 36th of 374 statewide (90th percentile, 5 stars). Oak Hill itself ranked 183rd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 82nd percentile with 4 stars. It has been a consistent 4-star school for the past decade, with percentile ranks ranging from 74 to 87, and its rank improved from 236th to 183rd in the last year.

Academically, Oak Hill performs above both its district and the state. In 2025–26 its ILEARN proficiency rates were 52.15% in English Language Arts, 67.2% in math, and 58.16% in science, all improvements over 2024–25 (48.24%, 62.81%, and 53.47%). Math and science are particular strengths, with grade-level results such as 4th grade science at 58.16% versus the state's 43.8%. Within Tri-Creek, Lake Prairie Elementary School outperforms Oak Hill in all three tested subjects, while Three Creeks Elementary School has higher math (70.62 vs. 67.2) but lower ELA and science. Crown Point schools generally post higher ELA scores and lower absenteeism.

The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism: 22.1% in 2024–25, which is above the state's 16.7% and far above most nearby schools. Crown Point schools run 6.8–7.6%, Red Cedars Elementary is 6.2%, Three Creeks is 14.7%, and Lake Prairie is 15.4%; only Lake Village Elementary School (22.6%) is similar. Attendance has improved from its 2022–23 peak of 25.7% but remains well above pre-pandemic levels. Oak Hill also has the lowest per-student spending among nearby schools ($9,639 in 2023–24) and a higher student-teacher ratio (20.9). Notably, it achieves results similar to Red Cedars despite higher absenteeism, greater poverty, and lower spending — a sign of effective instruction. For parents, the takeaway is a solidly above-state school where attendance is the biggest opportunity for improvement.
