Summary:
ZIP code 47383 is home to exactly one elementary school: Selma Elementary School, a K–5 school in Selma, Indiana serving 535 students as part of Liberty-Perry Community School Corp. Because there is only one school here, there are no in-ZIP schools to compare against, so the most useful benchmarks are the district and the state. Selma Elementary School has earned a 4-star rating in each of the last three school years, and its district ranks 68th of 374 Indiana districts — the 82nd percentile — also with 4 stars. The school's statewide rank has slipped from 158th of 1,011 (84th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 289th of 1,015 (72nd percentile) in 2025–2026, still comfortably above the state median.
Academics are strongest in math, science, and social studies. In 2025–2026, All Grades math proficiency was 59.49%, edging the district's 58.26%, and the school beat the state at every reported math grade: 3rd grade 61.36% vs. 51.9%, 4th grade 69.89% vs. 52%, and 5th grade 47.31% vs. 42%. Fourth-grade science was 56.99% against the state's 43.8%, up 11.01 points from 45.98% the year before. Fifth-grade social studies was 50.54% vs. the state's 47.2%, though that margin narrowed from roughly 14.5 points a year earlier. English/language arts is the relative weak spot: All Grades ELA was 44.53%, below the district's 45.92%, and 3rd-grade ELA (39.77%) trailed the state's 40.8%. ELA fell 4.93 points year over year, and All Grades math dropped 6.94 points — declines that help explain the rank slide.
Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism was 12.9%, better than the district's 17.6% and the state's 16.7%. The school serves a majority economically disadvantaged population, with 55.7% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, which makes the above-state math, science, and social studies results notable. Spending was $9,355 per student in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 17.2 in 2024–2025; no district or state comparison for those two figures is available here. Overall, this is a 4-star school with strong math, science, and social studies outcomes and excellent attendance, with recent ELA and math declines worth watching.
