Summary:

In zip code 46160, there is one elementary school, Helmsburg Elementary School, serving students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade. This school is part of the Brown County School Corporation.

Helmsburg Elementary School demonstrates strong performance when compared to the district average, consistently achieving higher test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science across various grade levels. For instance, in the 2024-2025 academic year, the school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math for all grades were significantly higher than those of the Brown County School Corporation. Specifically, 4th and 5th graders at Helmsburg showed particularly strong ELA proficiency in the most recent academic year. While the school's spending per student is high at $13,898 and the student-teacher ratio is favorable at 12.2, these resources may not be fully translating into consistent statewide performance, as the school's ranking has declined from 241 out of 1016 in 2020-2021 to 433 out of 1016 in 2022-2023, accompanied by a drop in its star rating from 4 to 3.

A notable concern for Helmsburg Elementary School is its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is a significant figure that could impact student learning. There have also been fluctuations in grade-level test scores; for example, 3rd-grade Math proficiency saw a decrease from 70.73% in 2023-2024 to 64.71% in 2024-2025, and 5th-grade ELA proficiency dropped to 52.5% in 2023-2024 before improving in the following year. The school serves a substantial portion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 47.46%.
