Summary

Sharp Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Wabash, Indiana, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 270 students. The school is part of the MSD Wabash County Schools district, which is ranked 140 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Sharp Creek Elementary has some areas of concern, such as relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.8% to 23.8% in recent years, the school also has some strengths. Its math test scores on the ILEARN assessments are generally better than its English Language Arts scores, with 48.72% of students proficient or better across all grades, compared to 36.57% for the district and 40.3% statewide for 3rd grade. However, the school's overall test scores are still below the state and district averages, particularly in ELA. Interestingly, the nearby Southwood Elementary and Metro North Elementary schools generally perform better on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates.

Another factor to consider is the school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.84% to 52.22% in recent years, which is higher than some nearby schools but lower than others. Additionally, Sharp Creek Elementary's spending per student has increased from $8,111 in 2021-2022 to $8,714 in 2023-2024, which is lower than the nearby Southwood Elementary ($9,404) and Metro North Elementary ($9,317). These factors may indicate potential equity concerns that could be impacting the school's performance, and further investigation into the school's resource allocation and support for economically disadvantaged students could be warranted.
