Mill Creek West Elementary is improving. Its state rank climbed from 300th of 1,011 (70th percentile) in 2023–24, to 263rd of 1,005 (74th percentile) in 2024–25, to 163rd of 1,015 (84th percentile) in 2025–26, holding 4 stars each year. It sits inside a highly rated district: Mill Creek Community School Corp ranks 31st of 374 districts, in the 92nd percentile, with 5 stars. In 2025–26 all-grade results, the school beat its district in Math (67.88 vs. 60.70) and Science (62.67 vs. 56.59) but trailed slightly in English Language Arts (52.33 vs. 53.85). ELA remains the clearest relative gap — below district at every grade, yet above state benchmarks at every grade, by roughly 8.7 to 13.1 percentage points. Grade-level highlights include 5th-grade Math at 69.81 compared with a state figure of 42.0, and 5th-grade Social Studies at 58.49, above the district's 53.85 and the state's 47.2.
Attendance is the standout strength: chronic absenteeism was just 4.4% in 2024–25, versus 7.5% for the district and 16.7% for the state — roughly one-quarter of the state rate. Other context: 31.1% free/reduced lunch, $10,224 per-student spending (2023–24), and a 14.4:1 student-teacher ratio, though the data offers no district or state comparisons for these. Year over year, ELA rose 7.56 points and 5th-grade Social Studies jumped 16.67 points, while Science fell 8.16 points, from 70.83 to 62.67, still above district and state. Overall, this is a strong, improving 4-star school in a 5-star district.
