Summary:
ZIP code 47346 covers Hagerstown, Indiana, and is served by exactly one elementary school: Hagerstown Elementary School, which enrolls 621 students in grades PK–6 and belongs to the Nettle Creek School Corporation. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there are no nearby peers to compare it with, so the most useful benchmarks are its own district and the state of Indiana.
Science is the school's clearest academic strength. In 2025–2026, 4th grade science proficiency reached 69.23%, far above the state's 43.8%, and 6th grade science was 50.62% against a state figure of 41.2%. Math is more mixed: all-grade math came in at 46.23%, above the district's 42.74%, and 5th grade math was 47.44% versus the state's 42%, though 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade math sat slightly below state averages. ELA is the main area of concern — all-grade ELA was 38.36% against the district's 46.84%, with 5th grade ELA at 35.9% (state 42.2%) and 6th grade ELA at 33.33% (state 41.3%). Fifth grade social studies was 48.72%, modestly above the state's 47.2%.
Chronic absenteeism was 11.2%, better than the district's 14.3% and the state's 16.7%. The school ranked in the 62nd percentile (387th of 1,015) with 3 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 74th percentile and 4 stars in 2024–2025, when ELA, math, and science scores were all higher. Resource context includes a 13.8 student-teacher ratio, per-student spending of $9,299, and a free/reduced lunch rate of 51.69%. Overall, this is a school with standout science results, selective math success, strong attendance, and ELA as the priority for improvement.
