Summary:
Zip code 46117 (Charlottesville, Indiana) contains one elementary school: Eastern Hancock Elementary School, a PK–5 building with 549 students in the Eastern Hancock County Com School Corp. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, parents should judge it by how it performs against its district and the state over time rather than against nearby schools. It holds a 4-star rating and placed in the 78th percentile of Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026, while its district ranks in the 66th percentile with 3 stars — making this building the stronger performer within its own system.
Academically, the school beats Indiana's averages in every subject and grade level tested. Fifth grade is the standout: 59.57% proficiency in English language arts, 58.51% in math, and 72.34% in social studies, which is roughly 25 points above the state and the highest figure in this data set. Fourth grade math is the thinnest margin, at just 1.5 points above the state (53.49% versus 52.00%). Across all grades, ELA rose 4.1 points to 52.12%, science jumped 10.7 points to 56.98%, and math slipped 5.9 points to 57.14% — leaving the three core subjects in a fairly even 52–57% band.
Chronic absenteeism is 11.2%, well below the state's 16.7% but slightly above the district's 10.3%. With 39.34% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, a 15.7-to-1 student–teacher ratio, and $11,205 in per-student spending, the school posts above-state results without an advantaged intake. Ratings have held at 4 stars for three straight years, though its percentile eased from 82nd to 78th. Overall, this is a consistently strong school; the items worth watching are the math decline and the slim fourth-grade math cushion.
