Summary

Indian Lake Elementary School is a public school in Lewistown, OH, serving about 530 students in grades PK–4 as part of the Indian Lake Local district, and it ranked 289th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 81st percentile, or 4 stars, placing it in the top fifth of the state.

Academically, the school performs well above the Ohio average in the grades it tests. In 2025–2026, third grade English Language Arts reached 94.8% proficiency against a state average of 63.4%, and math was strong in both grades (79.4% in 3rd, 84.5% in 4th). Fourth grade ELA was the closer call at 68.9%, just 7.1 points above the state. Compared with nearby schools, Jackson Center Elementary School, Anna Elementary School, and Botkins Elementary School generally post higher math and 4th grade ELA scores, while Indian Lake comfortably outperforms Northwood Intermediate School, Bellefontaine Intermediate School, Benjamin Logan Elementary School, and Waynesfield-Goshen Local Elementary School, and edges Riverside Elementary School.

One of the school's most distinctive features is how well it serves specific student groups. Students from low-income families ranked in the 94th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, and special education students ranked in the 92nd percentile — notable given that 62.45% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, well above nearby Anna (28.29%) and Botkins (18.58%). Attendance has improved dramatically, with chronic absenteeism falling from 23.9% in 2021–2022 to 9.0% in 2025–2026, below the district's 12.2%, though a few nearby schools remain lower. The student-teacher ratio of 16:1 is more favorable than most surrounding schools. Overall, this is a strong, stable school whose clearest strength is 3rd grade ELA and math, with 4th grade ELA the main area to watch.
