Summary

Sharp Creek Elementary School is a grades 3–6 school in Wabash, Indiana, serving 270 students in MSD Wabash County Schools, about 9 miles from its district’s Southwood Elementary School and just under 4 miles from Metro North Elementary School. On the state’s 2025–26 0–100 school ranking, it placed 379th of 1,015 elementary schools — the 63rd percentile, 3 stars — its best result since a one-year spike in 2020–21. Before that, it sat in a narrow 55th–57th percentile band for a decade, so this year represents a move off a long plateau.

The school’s most distinctive feature is a wide gap between math and reading. In 2025–26, math proficiency was 54.18% versus 49.01% for the district, while English Language Arts was 36.12% versus 42.45% — an 18-point internal gap. Math was above the state mark in grades 3–5; 3rd-grade math was 63.29% against 51.9% statewide, but 3rd-grade ELA was 29.11% against 40.8% statewide. Sixth-grade ELA was 26.19% against 41.3% statewide. ELA has been flat near 35% for four years. Southwood Elementary School, in the same district with similar poverty and class size, scored 62.9% in math and 52.66% in ELA. Andrews Elementary School reached the same 63rd percentile but with weaker math (50.66%) and stronger ELA (46.71%).

Chronic absenteeism is 6.4% — the lowest in this comparison group, under a third of the district’s 24.7% and well under half the state’s 16.7% — and has improved from 9.3% to 8.0% to 6.4%. Spending is $8,714 per student, the lowest among tested-grade peers, yet math proficiency is third-highest in the set. O J Neighbours Elementary School in Wabash City Schools spends roughly $2,000 more per student for 30.61% math and 31.63% ELA. Bottom line: Sharp Creek Elementary School is stable and slightly above average, with strengths in math, grade-5 social studies (58.46% versus 47.2% statewide) and attendance. Its main weakness is reading, especially in 3rd and 6th grades, and Southwood Elementary School offers a nearby, comparable example of better reading outcomes.
