Summary

Topeka Elementary School is a K–4 school in Topeka, IN, serving 248 students in the Westview School Corporation. It ranks 305th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026, at the 70th percentile with 4 stars, while its district ranks 23rd of 374 districts, at the 94th percentile with 5 stars. Within the district, it trails Meadowview Elementary School (90th percentile, 4 stars) and Shipshewana-Scott Elementary School (86th percentile, 4 stars), making it a solid above-average school statewide but the lowest-ranked of the district’s three elementaries.

Math is Topeka’s clearest academic strength: all-grade math is 67.39%, nearly matching the district’s 67.89%, with 3rd grade at 63.89% and 4th grade at 69.64%, both above the state. English language arts is 48.91% overall, below the district’s 57.87%, though it improved from 37.14% the prior year and both tested grades are above the state. Science is the main concern: 4th grade science is 37.50%, below the state’s 43.8%, the district’s 51.79%, and same-district peers Shipshewana-Scott Elementary School (61.73%) and Meadowview Elementary School (51.72%). Topeka also has a higher free/reduced lunch rate (43.55%) than those two peers (26.93% and 28.01%), which is important context; compared with higher-poverty nearby schools such as Central Noble Elementary School, West Noble Elementary School, Lakeland Intermediate School, and Rome City Elementary School, Topeka often posts stronger ELA and math results.

Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism is 7.5% in 2024–2025, lower than the district’s 7.9% and far below the state’s 16.7%, and it improved from 11.4% the previous year. It is also lower than Meadowview Elementary School (11.8%), Benton Elementary School (8.2%), Lakeland Intermediate School (9.3%), West Noble Elementary School (8.4%), and West Noble Primary School (14.4%). Topeka spends $13,599 per student and has a favorable 13.0 student-teacher ratio. Its ranking history is volatile but longer-term positive: from 2 stars and the 48th–49th percentile in 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 to 4 stars and the 70th percentile now, though still below its 2022–2023 peak of the 79th percentile. Overall, Topeka is a solidly above-average school with strong math, good attendance, and favorable resources; the main academic concerns are science and ELA.
