The school is part of the Tri-Creek School Corporation, which is ranked 56 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Three Creeks Elementary School consistently performs above the Tri-Creek School Corporation and the state of Indiana in ILEARN test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Three Creeks had 54.46% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46.33% for the district and 40.3% for the state. In math, Three Creeks had 64.36% proficient or better, compared to 55.49% for the district. However, the school faces challenges with higher chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.6% to 28.1% over the past few years, and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 29.51% to 35.46% over the same period.

For example, Solon Robinson Elementary and Lake Street Elementary in the Crown Point Community School Corporation outperform Three Creeks in both ELA and math proficiency. Monitoring trends over time and addressing the increase in student-teacher ratio will be important for Three Creeks Elementary to maintain and improve its academic excellence.
