Summary:
Zip code 46991 in Van Buren, Indiana, is served by exactly one school: Eastbrook North Elementary, a K–5 campus with 304 students in the Eastbrook Community School Corp. Because there are no middle or high schools inside this zip, families here have a single elementary option, and students continue elsewhere in the district after 5th grade. The available record is unusually detailed for one building, covering three years of state rankings, ILEARN results in English, math, science, and social studies, plus attendance, class size, and per-student spending.
Math is the school's clear strength. All-grades math proficiency is 52.94% versus 44.26% for the district, and 3rd-grade math reaches 65.45% against 51.9% statewide. Attendance is the other bright spot: chronic absenteeism is 11.5%, better than the district's 12.0% and well below Indiana's 16.7%, even though 55.92% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Resources look ordinary rather than unusual — roughly 15.2 students per teacher and $11,254 spent per student.
English language arts is the persistent weak area. All-grades ELA is 35.95% proficient versus 43.64% in the district, and both 4th and 5th grade fall below the state. Fifth-grade social studies is the single lowest result at 28% proficient, against 47.2% statewide and slightly higher the year before. Performance also slides as students move up: ELA drops from 43.64% in 3rd grade to 33.33% in 4th and 30% in 5th, while math falls from 65.45% to 54.17% to 38%. Overall, the school ranks at the 46th percentile with 2 stars, while its district sits at the 67th percentile with 3 stars — a 2024–25 jump to 60th percentile and 3 stars was not sustained, as all three tested subjects declined. In short: strong math and strong attendance, offset by weaker reading and social studies and a steady grade-level slide.
