Summary

Sugar Grove Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 2800 Wallace Ave in Terre Haute, Indiana, serving 360 students in the Vigo County School Corp. Its standing is low: it ranked 721st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (29th percentile, 1 star) in 2025-26, close to its district's own 270th of 374 (28th percentile, 1 star). By enrollment it sits mid-pack locally — smaller than Terre Town Elementary School, Dixie Bee Elementary School, and Lost Creek Elementary School, and comparable to Blanche E Fuqua Elementary School and Ouabache Elementary School.

Two patterns stand out. Reading is the acute weakness and it worsened quickly: all-grades English Language Arts proficiency fell from 35.33% in 2024-25 to 22.58% in 2025-26 — a 12.75-point drop in one year — while the district's reading rate held steady around 31%. Math is a relative strength at 38.06%, about 5 points above the district, and science (35.09%) is in line with it. Third-grade reading (17.74%) is the building's lowest result, though performance climbs steadily by fifth grade, where reading and math both beat the district. Attendance is the most glaring gap: 31.1% of students were chronically absent in 2024-25 — roughly one in three, nearly double Indiana's 16.7% and above the district. It peaked at 34.0% the prior year while the state's rate was falling. Poverty is rising too, with 82.78% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, up from 76.42% two years earlier.

Nearby comparisons are revealing. The two 4-star neighbors, Dixie Bee Elementary School (45.2% free/reduced lunch, 12.7% chronically absent) and Lost Creek Elementary School (48.4%, 14.0%), spend less per student and run larger classes than Sugar Grove Elementary School, which has a favorable 11.6 student-teacher ratio and median spending of $10,363. The most instructive near-peer is Adelaide De Vaney Elementary School, less than a mile away: it has much lower poverty (57.7%) and absenteeism (12.8%) and clearly better reading (36.6% vs 22.6%), yet the two are essentially tied in math. Resources and class size are not what set Sugar Grove apart — reading and attendance are.
