Summary

Monon Trail Elementary School is a K–4 school serving 767 students in Westfield, Indiana, part of the highly ranked Westfield-Washington Schools district. It is the largest school among its same-district elementary peers. In 2025–2026, Monon Trail ranked 174th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools, placing it in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars — a step down from 2024–2025 (54th of 1,005, 95th percentile, 5 stars) and 2023–2024 (68th of 1,011, 93rd percentile, 5 stars).

Math is the school's relative strength: 73.13% of students were proficient, which is 7.91 points above the district's 65.22% and higher than Carey Ridge Elementary School, Washington Woods Elementary School, Hinkle Creek Elementary School, Noble Crossing Elementary School, and Hazel Dell Elementary School. ELA (53.46%) and science (50.00%) lag the district's 61.18% and 64.94%, and trail most nearby schools, including Shamrock Springs Elementary School, Oak Trace Elementary School, Maple Glen Elementary, Smoky Row Elementary School, and Cherry Tree Elementary School. Monon Trail also has the highest chronic absenteeism (10.2%) and free/reduced lunch rate (28.94%) among the nearby schools shown, though absenteeism remains well below the state's 16.7%, and its student-teacher ratio of 19.1 is tied for the highest nearby, up from 16.1 in 2023–2024.

From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency fell in ELA (60.70 to 53.46), math (82.75 to 73.13), and science (64.58 to 50.00). Notably, Monon Trail still slightly outperformed similarly challenged Washington Woods in all three subjects. The science dip is the clearest academic soft spot, while math is a genuine strength. Overall, Monon Trail is a strong school by Indiana standards that serves a higher-need population than most Westfield peers, and the 2025–2026 rank drop is worth watching rather than over-interpreting.

Open Quote My child has had several issues at this elementary school... from the bus to the classroom. Several other elementary schools in Westfield are far better than this one. We love Westfield schools, just unhappy with this one. Close Quote

Open Quote Monon Trail is the newest elementary school in Westfield. For the most part the class sizes are small (except one grade level) as they need to grow into the building. The teachers are wonderful. They care about the kids and make learning fun. My children are excited about school. The entire staff (custodian, office staff, assistants, kitchen staff and even the support programs) care about the students and work with families when issues arise. We have had our kids in three different elementary schools in Westfield (and all Westfield schools are outstanding) but Monon Trail is the best for our kids. Close Quote
