Summary:
ZIP code 47116, in the rural community of Eckerty, Indiana, is served by exactly one public school: West Crawford Elementary School, a PK–5 campus with 170 students in the Crawford County Community School Corp. Because it is the only school in this ZIP, families have one local option, so the profile below covers that school in detail rather than comparing it with nearby campuses.
Academics are a mixed picture. In 2025–2026 ILEARN results, all-grade English Language Arts proficiency was 18.57%, far below the district's 40%, and every tested grade trailed the state — 3rd grade at 14.29% versus 40.8%, 4th at 16.67% versus 42.2%, and 5th at 27.78% versus 42.2%. ELA also fell from 31.71% the previous year. Math was stronger at 48.57% overall, just under the district's 51.81%, with genuine bright spots: 3rd-grade math reached 57.14% and 5th-grade math 44.44%, both above district and state. Science lagged at 25% overall, while 5th-grade social studies came in at 38.89%, slightly above the district's 37.35% but below the state's 47.2%.
Outside of test scores, chronic absenteeism was 12.2%, better than both the district (12.7%) and the state (16.7%) — a notable result given that 68.82% of students were eligible for free/reduced-price lunch. Per-student spending was $13,573, and the student-teacher ratio was 18.2:1. The school's state rank percentile, however, has slipped from 49 to 41 to 32 over three years, now standing at 689 of 1015 with a 2-star rating, below its own district's 47th percentile. The clearest instructional priorities are ELA and science.
