Original Research by School Decision on Greensburg Elementary
Greensburg Elementary serves students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the Greensburg Community Schools district, housed in a single building at 900 North Big Blue Avenue. The school is a regular public elementary school in the county seat of Decatur County, a community set among rolling farmland about halfway between Indianapolis and Cincinnati along the I-74 corridor. Greensburg itself blends a historic downtown organized around the Decatur County Courthouse square with a manufacturing economy anchored by a large Honda assembly plant and a Delta Faucet facility, and the city has seen modest population growth over recent decades.
The student body is very predominantly white, and the school serves a population where a substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. That economic context matters for understanding the baseline from which the school operates, though the data does not include counts of students receiving special education services or English learner support, so families with children in those categories may wish to ask the school directly about the resources available.
On state assessments, the picture is mixed. In math, a majority of students scored at or above the proficient level on the ILEARN exams, which places the school above the midpoint among the districts in Decatur County when considered as an overall index across tested subjects. In English language arts, however, fewer than half of students reached that bar, a gap that parents will likely want to discuss with the school to understand what literacy supports are in place and how they align with the early elementary grades. Science and social studies results, which are tested at specific grade levels, fell in between, with slightly more than two in five students demonstrating proficiency in each. The school has no earlier-year assessment data available in this profile, so the trend direction is not clear.
Because the school ends at fifth grade, there is no graduation rate to report, and measures such as chronic absenteeism are not present in the data. The school environment section was also thin, with no information on discipline rates, staffing ratios, or course access. A parent seeking a fuller picture of school climate and day-to-day conditions would need to follow up with the school or district.
The housing context in Greensburg shows home values running at roughly the national average and a bit above the state benchmark, with year-over-year appreciation that has been stronger than the state and national paces. The national median household income is the only income reference in the data, so local affordability relative to area wages is not directly calculable from what is here, but the broader economic drivers in Greensburg—particularly the Honda plant and its large workforce—suggest a base of middle-income employment typical of a smaller Midwestern manufacturing center.
Greensburg Community Schools, as the district, did not surface any recent parent-relevant changes in the research, so the reader should not assume any major shifts in boundaries, programming, or facilities in the near past. The school itself offers a straightforward elementary pathway within a single building, no magnet or charter designation, and no specialized program data to inspect. For a family valuing a traditional elementary setting in a town with a distinct downtown and a stable industrial economy, Greensburg Elementary sits as the only public elementary option in the district serving these grades, and the assessment results give a starting point for conversation with the school about academic support, especially in reading.
