Summary

Lost Creek Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Terre Haute, Indiana, serving 672 students in the Vigo County School Corp — the largest elementary school among the nearby Vigo County schools. Although the district ranks low statewide (270th of 374, 28th percentile, 1 star), Lost Creek is a clear standout: in 2025–2026 it ranked 259th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools, 74th percentile, with 4 stars. Among nearby same-district schools, Rio Grande Elementary School is closest at 63rd percentile, followed by Adelaide De Vaney Elementary School at 41st, Terre Town Elementary School at 33rd, Sugar Grove Elementary School at 29th, and Blanche E Fuqua Elementary School at 28th, while Farrington Grove Elementary School and Benjamin Franklin Elementary School sit near the bottom at 6th and 5th percentile.

Test scores are the clearest strength. In 2025–2026, Lost Creek's all-grade proficiency was 47.77% in ELA, 56.68% in math, 56.76% in science, and 66.04% in social studies — well above the district's 31.23%, 33.00%, 35.12%, and 38.65%. Every reported grade-level subject was at or above the state average. The largest gaps were 5th grade math (60.38% vs. the state's 42%), 5th grade social studies (66.04% vs. 47.2%), and 4th grade science (56.76% vs. 43.8%); the narrowest was 4th grade ELA (42.34% vs. 42.2%). Rio Grande is the closest academic peer, edging Lost Creek in all-grade math (58.03% vs. 56.68%), but Lost Creek leads in ELA, science, and social studies.

Other factors set Lost Creek apart. Chronic absenteeism was 14.0% in 2024–2025, below the state's 16.7% and about half the district's 27.4%. Its free/reduced lunch rate of 48.36% is far below the nearby average of roughly 78.7%, and it spends $9,985 per student — the lowest among nearby schools — with a student-teacher ratio of 14.4, slightly above the nearby average of about 13.3. One caution: overall performance dipped from 84th percentile in 2024–2025 to 74th percentile in 2025–2026, with ELA falling from 56.6% to 47.77%, math from 62.54% to 56.68%, and science from 63.06% to 56.76%, even as 5th grade social studies rose from 45.16% to 66.04%.
