Original Research by School Decision on Southeastern Elementary School
Southeastern Elementary School, located on Cyntheanne Road in Fishers, serves students from prekindergarten through fourth grade as a regular public school within the Hamilton Southeastern Schools district. Fishers itself is a rapidly growing, largely residential suburb north of Indianapolis that has added significant commercial and civic development, including a walkable downtown Nickel Plate District and a new event center. The school sits in a community that has seen substantial population growth over recent decades and continues to invest in mixed-use projects and parks.
Academically, Southeastern Elementary posts strong state test results. On the Indiana ILEARN assessments, the school’s overall proficiency across math, English language arts, and science places it among the highest-performing elementary schools relative to other districts in Hamilton County. Proficiency in math and ELA is strong, and science results follow a similar pattern. Because the school serves only early elementary grades, there is no graduation rate to report—that metric applies to high schools only. The school participates in state testing at the third- and fourth-grade levels, and the data available covers those tested grades; no chronic absenteeism figures were included in the record, so a family may wish to ask the school directly about attendance patterns.
The student body is moderately diverse by racial and ethnic background. White students make up the largest share, followed by a notable Asian population. Smaller groups include students who identify as Black, Hispanic, two or more races, and American Indian or Alaska Native. The share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch is well below the national average, suggesting a relatively affluent student population overall. Data on students with individualized education programs and English learners was not provided, so families with children who receive special education services or are learning English should follow up with the school to understand support structures.
The housing market in the area around the school is expensive. Home values sit well above the national median, and rents have been rising. The combination of high housing costs and low poverty enrollment indicates that most families who live in this attendance zone are financially comfortable, though the cost of entry is steep. Fishers has been recognized in national rankings as a desirable place to live, and the school benefits from the resources of the broader district, which is the city’s largest employer.
No information was available about the school’s Title I status, which typically reflects the share of low-income students. Given the low free- and reduced-price-lunch rate, the school likely does not receive federal Title I funding, but this was not confirmed. Similarly, the data did not include information on discipline, course access, or staffing ratios, all of which are common areas of interest for parents.
Southeastern Elementary fits a family looking for a suburban elementary school with consistently high academic performance in a fast-growing, amenity-rich community. The school’s proficiency results are among the best in a county known for strong schools, and the peer environment reflects a relatively high-income, majority-white student body with a visible Asian presence. Families who can manage the area’s expensive housing market will find a school that performs well on state measures and is part of a district that dominates local employment.
