Original Research by School Decision on White Lick Elementary School
White Lick Elementary School serves kindergarten through fifth grade in Brownsburg, a fast-growing suburban town west of Indianapolis. It is a regular public school within the Brownsburg Community School Corporation, which operates eight elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school distributed across the community. The school is located on South Odell Street, in a residential part of town.
On the Indiana ILEARN assessments, White Lick posted strong results. A substantial majority of students met or exceeded state standards in both math and English language arts. Science proficiency was also solid, with about two-thirds of tested students reaching the proficient mark. Social studies, tested only in fifth grade, showed a more mixed picture, with roughly half of students proficient. Across all tested subjects and grades, White Lick’s overall proficiency index placed it in the top quartile relative to districts in Hendricks County, indicating that academic performance here is among the stronger elementary schools in the area.
The student body numbers about five hundred. Roughly a third of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a share that suggests a mix of income levels. Racially and ethnically, the school is majority white, with a significant Black student population, smaller shares of Hispanic and multiracial students, and a modest Asian presence. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the provided records, so a parent interested in those support services would want to ask the school directly.
Brownsburg itself is one of the fastest-growing communities in Indiana. It blends suburban residential neighborhoods with a growing industrial and distribution corridor along the Ronald Reagan Parkway, which connects to Interstates 74 and 70 and the Indianapolis airport. Home values in the school’s zip code are above the Indiana average and close to the national figure, while rents are moderate relative to local incomes. The town has been recognized multiple times as a strong place to live, and its population has risen steadily. Major employers include a Fortune company, a bakery manufacturer, and a nuclear medicine firm, and three hospitals serve the area. Twenty miles of trails connect parks and neighborhoods, though the built environment remains primarily car-oriented.
At the district level, voters in 2025 approved two referendum measures: a capital projects package for safety and security upgrades at the high school and a middle school, and an operating referendum that provides ongoing funding for teacher and staff compensation and class size management. That second measure replaces an earlier one set to expire, so it represents a sustained community commitment to those priorities. Property taxes will reflect the new spending.
For a family considering White Lick, the picture is of a well-performing elementary in a growing, increasingly resourced suburban district. The academic results are strong, especially in math and reading, and the school’s position among county peers is high. The community is expanding, which may affect school enrollment and classroom dynamics over time. The absence of certain data points, such as special education and English learner counts, means those specifics should be verified directly with the school. Overall, White Lick offers a solid academic foundation in a district that has recently doubled down on facility safety and staff investment.
