Summary:
ZIP code 46038 in Fishers, Indiana is home to six public elementary schools, all serving grades PK–4 and all part of Hamilton Southeastern Schools, a district ranked #6 of 374 in Indiana (98th percentile, 5 stars). Total enrollment across the six schools is 3,225 students, ranging from 437 at Fishers Elementary School to 607 at Thorpe Creek Elementary. Every one of these schools ranks in the top 12% of Indiana elementary schools, so families here are comparing within an already strong cluster rather than against the state average alone.
Thorpe Creek Elementary is the academic leader, ranking #20 of 1,015 schools (98th percentile, 5 stars) with the highest all-grade Math (80.31%) and Science (69.01%) scores, the lowest chronic absenteeism (3.9%), and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (12.03%). Sand Creek Elementary is the biggest improver, climbing from #246 to #57 with gains of 15.07 points in ELA, 10.57 in Math, and 18.41 in Science. New Britton Elementary School leads in ELA at 74.69%, while Harrison Parkway Elementary School — with the group's highest free/reduced lunch rate at 39.79% — still ranks #46 with 5 stars. Cumberland Road Elementary School (#102) and Fishers Elementary School (#118, 4 stars) rank lower within this group but remain well above state averages.
Five of the six schools earned 5 stars in 2025-26, and every school improved its state rank year over year, with the average rank moving from 135.3 to 64.7. Chronic absenteeism averages 6.45%, below the district's 7.3% and far below the state's 16.7%. Per-student spending ($12,024–$12,517) and student/teacher ratios (14.6–16.3) are nearly uniform, so resource gaps do not explain the differences in outcomes. One pattern to watch: Fishers Elementary School shows wide grade-level swings, with 3rd-grade Math at 79.45% but 4th-grade Math at 60%.
