Summary:

ZIP code 46064 in Pendleton, Indiana contains three public elementary schools — Pendleton Elementary School, Maple Ridge Elementary School, and East Elementary School — all part of South Madison Com School Corp. Two serve grades PK–6 and one serves K–6, and together they enroll 2,438 students. The district ranks 43rd of 374 districts in the state, at the 89th percentile with 4 stars, and all three schools earned 4 stars in 2023–2024, 2024–2025, and 2025–2026. Every reported grade-level test score in 2025–2026 was above the corresponding state average, and chronic absenteeism at all three schools is less than half the state rate of 16.7%.

East Elementary School and Pendleton Elementary School are the two overall leaders, but they lead in different ways. East has the strongest multi-year ranking profile — an average percentile of about 80.7 — plus the highest all-grade ELA (54.26%), the highest Grade 5 Social Studies (65.09%), the top Grade 6 ELA, Math, and Science results, and the lowest absenteeism at 6.4%, all while spending the least per student at $9,860. Pendleton has the best current-year rank, 198th of 1,015 in 2025–2026, and stands out in science (53.91% all-grade) and Grade 4 math and science (68.75% and 60.94%). It also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 38.19%, the lowest student-teacher ratio at 17.6, and the highest per-student spending at $10,531. Their all-grade ELA scores are nearly identical at 54.24% and 54.26%.

Maple Ridge Elementary School is more uneven. It posts the single highest score in the data — 84.13% in Grade 3 Math, 32.23 points above the state — and a strong 61.11% in Grade 5 Social Studies, but it also has the lowest all-grade ELA (50.59%) and Science (47.25%), the highest free/reduced lunch rate (45.8%), the highest student-teacher ratio (19.6), and the highest absenteeism (7.3%). Its all-grade Math ties Pendleton exactly at 60.75%. Overall, these are high-performing schools; the main difference is emphasis, with East strong broadly, Pendleton strong in STEM, and Maple Ridge showing standout early math.
