Summary

Terre Town Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 2121 Boston Ave in Terre Haute, Indiana, serving 553 students — the second-largest enrollment among Vigo County School Corp's elementary schools — in a community where about 84% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

That high-poverty profile matters when reading the numbers. Statewide, Terre Town ranks 682nd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (33rd percentile, 2 stars), which is above its own district's 28th percentile. In 2025-26 the school beat its district in English language arts (32.72% vs. 31.23%) and math (35.29% vs. 33.00%) — a reversal from the year before — and both subjects have improved two years running. Science is the exception: it trailed the district in every year reported and sits roughly 13 points below the state at 4th grade. The standout comparison is against the district's other very low-income schools: Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, Davis Park Elementary School, and Farrington Grove Elementary School post proficiency rates 12 to 25 points lower, even though each spends more per student and has smaller classes. Compared with the district's higher-income, higher-ranked schools such as Lost Creek Elementary School and Rio Grande Elementary School, Terre Town trails by a similarly wide margin, so it sits genuinely in the middle. Attendance is its strongest trend: chronic absenteeism fell to 22.1%, the best among the district's high-poverty schools, at a time the district's own rate worsened.

Results vary a lot by grade. Third-grade ELA (39.08%) comes closest to the state, while fifth-grade math (24.10%) is the school's weakest result anywhere — 4.5 points below even the district. Against Blanche E Fuqua Elementary School, its closest demographic match, Terre Town's math is nearly identical but its reading is stronger, suggesting an early-literacy edge.
