Summary

Carey Ridge Elementary School is a PK–4 elementary school in Westfield, Indiana, a suburban community north of Indianapolis, serving 612 students as part of Westfield-Washington Schools. The district is highly ranked — 13th of 374 Indiana districts, at the 97th percentile with 5 stars — while Carey Ridge Elementary School ranks 139th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026, at the 86th percentile with 4 stars. That is a strong statewide position, but it is a decline from the school's own recent peak: it was 46th statewide in 2020–2021, at the 95th percentile with 5 stars. In other words, the school remains in the top 14% of the state, but it has slipped relative to its own recent history.

Math is Carey Ridge's anchor. All-grade math proficiency is 69.33%, above the district's 65.22% and ahead of Carmel Elementary School (68.02%), Mohawk Trails Elementary School (63.46%), Hazel Dell Elementary School (64.86%), Noble Crossing Elementary School (65.81%) and Washington Woods Elementary School (68.38%), though it trails Oak Trace Elementary School (83.82%) and Shamrock Springs Elementary School (75.29%). ELA is the clear concern: all-grade ELA proficiency is 57.98%, below the district's 61.18%, and it has fallen from 64.42% in 2022–2023 while district ELA rose from 60.10% to 61.18%. Grade levels split sharply — 3rd grade is below district in ELA and math, while 4th grade is above district in ELA and science and essentially at district in math. All grade-level scores remain comfortably above state averages.

Resources look favorable: a 14.4 student–teacher ratio, the lowest among same-district peers, and per-student spending of $14,964 in 2023–2024, the highest among nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism is 8.4%, far below the state's 16.7% but slightly above the district's 8.2% and higher than most nearby schools. Free/reduced lunch is 20.92%. One comparison caveat: Carey Ridge is PK–4, while some comparison schools are PK–5 or K–5, so same-district Westfield-Washington peers offer the cleanest comparisons.
