Summary:

In zip code 47987, there is one elementary school, Southeast Fountain Elementary, serving students in Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade. This school is part of the Southeast Fountain School Corp and has an enrollment of 510 students. The school is rated with 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating a performance level around the middle to lower end of Indiana elementary schools.

Southeast Fountain Elementary shows a mixed academic performance. While third-grade math proficiency is a notable strength, with over 55% of students scoring proficient in both 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, significantly outperforming the state average, other areas present opportunities for growth. English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grades remained stable but below the district average in 2024-2025, with a particular dip in fifth-grade ELA. Math proficiency also saw a decline in fourth and fifth grades, with fifth-grade math performance being substantially below the state average in 2024-2025. Science proficiency in fourth grade was above the state average in 2024-2025, but fifth-grade social studies proficiency was below the state average.

Several factors are important for parents to consider. The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is a concern as it can impact student learning. Nearly half of the students, 49.41%, qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of the student body comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Despite these challenges, the school spends $11,037 per student, which is a healthy amount and suggests adequate resources are available. The student-teacher ratio is 13.8, which is favorable. The school's statewide ranking has hovered around the 500s for the past few years, with a district rank of 197 out of 380 in Indiana.
