Summary:
ZIP code 47564, which covers the Otwell, Indiana area, has just one elementary school in this data set: Otwell Miller Academy. It serves grades K–5 with 107 students, and its district — Otwell Miller Academy — is the same entity, so district figures largely mirror the school's. Because there are no other elementary schools in the ZIP to compare against, the most useful yardsticks are Indiana state averages and the school's own prior-year results. With only about 107 students across six grades, a single small cohort can move a grade-level percentage by many points.
The school's clearest strengths are attendance and science. Chronic absenteeism is just 1.7%, compared with 16.7% statewide — roughly one-tenth the state rate. Science rose from 26.67% proficient in 2024–2025 to 52.63% in 2025–2026, and 4th grade science at 52.63% is about 8.8 points above the state's 43.8%. Third grade math is also a bright spot at 63.64% versus 51.9% statewide, and all-grades math improved from 25.49% to 36.36%. The school is trending upward in rankings as well, moving from 822 of 1011 (19th percentile, 1 star) in 2023–2024 to 631 of 1015 (38th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026 — a gain of 191 rank positions.
ELA is the weakest subject. All-grades ELA fell from 31.37% to 25%, and 4th grade ELA (31.58%) sits below the state's 42.2%. The biggest red flag is 5th grade, which reported 0% proficiency in ELA, math, and social studies in 2025–2026, with social studies dropping from 33.33% the prior year. Overall, the school remains below the state median at the 38th percentile, so it is improving but still in the lower half of Indiana schools. The 5th grade results and ELA in general appear to be the areas most deserving of attention.
