Summary:
ZIP code 46510 is served by a single elementary school: Claypool Elementary School, a PK–6 campus with 253 students located at 2024 W 700 S in Claypool, Indiana, and part of Warsaw Community Schools. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, this is a detailed single-school profile rather than a comparison among local campuses.
The school's clearest strength is attendance. In 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 8.6%, better than the district's 9.7% and far below Indiana's 16.7%. The student-teacher ratio of 10.6 students per teacher is low, suggesting relatively small classes or strong staffing capacity, and per-student spending was $12,576 in 2023–2024. The surrounding district is comparatively well rated — Warsaw Community Schools ranks 118 of 374 districts, in the 68th percentile with 3 stars. At the same time, 75.49% of Claypool students qualify for free or reduced lunch, which is useful context when reading the academic results below.
Academics are the main concern. In 2025–2026, Claypool ranked 764 of 1015 schools (25th percentile, 1 star), down from 607 of 1005 (40th percentile, 2 stars) the year before. All-grade proficiency fell in English language arts (36.6% to 28.08%), math (37.91% to 28.77%), and science (34.18% to 22.86%). The school trailed both its district and the state in every listed grade-level test — for example, 3rd grade ELA at 21.43% versus 41.77% district and 40.8% state, and 6th grade math at 15.79% versus 39.19% and 40.2%. Its strongest results, 5th grade ELA and 4th grade math at 37.5% each, still fell short of benchmarks, though 5th grade social studies did improve from 18.42% to 25%.
