Walnut Elementary School is a relatively strong-performing school, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2022-2023 school year, placing it in the top 17.6% of Indiana elementary schools. The school's ILEARN test scores in both English Language Arts and Math are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in Math where the school's proficiency rates are significantly above the state average. However, the school's ranking has fluctuated over the past three years, dropping from 179 out of 1,016 schools to 311 out of 1,010 schools, which could indicate some potential areas for improvement or challenges the school is facing.

While Walnut Elementary School has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.7%, which is lower than the state average, the school's student population is overwhelmingly White (95.62%), which is not representative of the racial diversity typically found in many school districts. This may be an area to explore further in terms of inclusivity and representation. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $9,632 is in line with the district and state averages, suggesting the school has access to adequate resources to support student learning and development.
