Best Public Schools in Hagerstown, IN

Summary:

The city of Hagerstown, Indiana is home to two schools: Hagerstown Elementary School and Hagerstown Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Nettle Creek School Corporation. While the elementary school generally performs on par with or slightly below the district averages, the high school has seen notable improvements, ranking in the top 18% of Indiana high schools in 2023-2024.

In contrast, Hagerstown Elementary School's strength lies in its consistent outperformance of state and district averages in math proficiency across all grade levels.

While the high school has made impressive strides, the elementary school's strong math performance and the district's commitment to supporting its learners suggest a promising educational landscape in the community.
