Summary

Sugar Creek Consolidated Elementary School in West Terre Haute, IN, is a PK–5 school serving 452 students in the Vigo County School Corp, a district rated 270th of 374 Indiana districts (28th percentile, 1 star). In 2025–2026, Sugar Creek ranked 792nd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools, placing it in the 22nd percentile with 1 star. The school has 65.93% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, spends $10,132 per student in 2023–2024, and has a 13.7:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025. Its rank declined from 61st percentile with 3 stars in 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 to mostly 1-star results after 2021–2022; it briefly rose to 34th percentile in 2024–2025, then returned to 22nd percentile in 2025–2026.

Academically, ELA is the biggest concern: all-grade proficiency is 17.39%, versus 31.23% district and about 23.9% nearby. Grade-level ELA falls from 21.92% in 3rd to 16.87% in 4th and 13.51% in 5th, while the state is at 40.8%–42.2%. Math is also below district and nearby averages at 27.39% all grades, and drops from 36.99% in 3rd to 26.51% in 4th and 18.92% in 5th, far below the state’s 42% in 5th. Science is the bright spot at 42.17%, above the district’s 35.12% and nearby average of about 30.2%. Chronic absenteeism is 21.6%, better than the district’s 27.4% and nearby average of about 25.7%, though above Indiana’s 16.7%.

Compared with nearby schools, Sugar Creek is middle-lower rather than the absolute bottom. It outperforms Ouabache, Davis Park, Benjamin Franklin, and Farrington Grove in ELA, math, and rank, but trails Dixie Bee, Terre Town, Adelaide De Vaney, and Sugar Grove in most core areas. Dixie Bee is the standout nearby benchmark: 76th percentile, with 46.37% ELA, 61.25% math, and 59.78% science. Poverty and resources do not fully explain Sugar Creek’s low outcomes: its 65.93% free/reduced lunch is lower than the nearby average of about 78.3%, its spending is below the nearby average of about $10,684, and its student-teacher ratio is near the nearby average. The main red flags are low ELA proficiency, weak upper-grade math, and a 5th-grade ELA and math profile far below state averages. The brief 2024–2025 improvement has not been sustained.
