Summary

Ouabache Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Terre Haute, Indiana, serving 366 students as part of Vigo County School Corp. For 2025–26, it ranked 912th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 10th percentile, with a 1-star rating, and the lowest rank in its shown history. The school was rated 2 stars and sat around the 36th–48th percentile from 2015–16 through 2018–19, but has been a 1-star school every year since 2020–21, so this is a multi-year trend rather than a one-year dip. The district overall is rated 270th of 374 in Indiana.

Achievement is low in every subject and grade reported. In 2025–26 ILEARN results, ELA for all grades was 13.04%, math 20.5%, and science 20.41% — all below district results of 31.23% in ELA, 33% in math, and 35.12% in science. The weakest spots are 5th grade math at 9.26% and 5th grade ELA at 11.11%; even the school's strongest result, 4th grade math at 30%, trails the district's 40.67% and the state's 52%. Chronic absenteeism was 30.6% in 2024–25, above the district's 27.4% and nearly double the state's 16.7%, and 80.33% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch.

Comparisons with nearby schools are telling. Schools with similar or higher poverty outperform Ouabache — Sugar Grove Elementary School (82.78% free/reduced lunch, 31.1% chronic absenteeism), Blanche E Fuqua Elementary School, and Terre Town Elementary School all post higher proficiency in several subjects. Lost Creek Elementary School is a 4-star, 74th-percentile school with 14.0% chronic absenteeism, showing what is possible locally. Per-student spending at Ouabache was $10,063 in 2023–24, in line with nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 11.3 was the lowest in the local comparison, so resources alone do not appear to be the main issue. Deming Early Learning Center serves PK–3 only and cannot be compared on 3rd–5th grade tests.
