Summary:
ZIP code 46543 has just one public school, Millersburg Elementary School, an elementary serving grades K–6 with 296 students as part of Fairfield Community Schools. The district is strong overall — ranked 78th of 374 Indiana districts, in the 79th percentile with 4 stars. The school itself is smaller in scale: a 15:1 student-teacher ratio, 21.96% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and per-student spending of $11,485 in 2023–2024.
Its brightest spots are worth noting. Fifth grade Social Studies is the clearest strength: 61.29% proficiency in 2025–2026, above the district's 60.23% and well above the state's 47.2%, and it was also above both in 2024–2025 at 45.24%. Some grade-level Math results beat the state too — 3rd grade Math at 60% vs 51.9%, and 5th grade Math at 58.06% vs 42%. Fourth grade ELA (44.44% vs 42.2%) and Science (48.15% vs 43.8%) also came in above state. Best of all, chronic absenteeism is just 6.9%, far below the district's 9.5% and the state's 16.7% — a strong sign of student engagement.
The challenges are mainly at the all-grade level and in 6th grade. All-grade ELA was 35.82% (district 46.02%), all-grade Science 31.75% (district 44.16%), and all-grade Math 51.49% (district 57.21%) — a reversal from 2024–2025, when Math was above the district. Sixth grade stands out as weak: ELA 22.22% vs 41.3% statewide, Math 38.89% vs 40.2%, and Science 19.44% vs 41.2%. The school's rank has also slipped, from 73rd percentile and 4 stars in 2023–2024 to 55th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026. With 296 students across K–6, individual grade results can swing on a few students, so the multi-year all-grade trends are the more reliable guide.
