Ouabache Elementary consistently performs below the Vigo County School Corporation and Indiana state averages in ILEARN test scores across all grade levels and subject areas.

In math, Ouabache's proficiency rate was 22.29%, while the district and state averages were 33.32% and 51.5% (3rd grade), respectively. Ouabache also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.8% to 32.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 80.93% of Ouabache students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Vigo County School Corporation, such as Lost Creek Elementary School, Ouabache consistently performs the worst in academic assessments. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, Lost Creek had 56.6% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, while Ouabache had only 20%. Despite spending levels on par with other schools in the district, Ouabache's academic struggles suggest a need for a deeper examination of the school's instructional practices and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population.
