The school is part of the Benton Community School Corp district, which is ranked 186 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Otterbein Elementary School appears to be a relatively strong performer compared to the district and state averages. The school outperforms the Benton Community School Corporation and the state of Indiana in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across multiple grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 50% of Otterbein students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 36.59% for the district and 52.4% for the state in 3rd grade. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 and higher per-student spending of $12,485 for the 2021-2022 school year, which could contribute to its academic performance.

However, the school does have some areas to monitor, such as its chronic absenteeism rate of 10.3% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is a metric that can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly White (91.47%), with relatively low percentages of minority students, and a high percentage of students (47.29%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which suggests the school serves a population with relatively lower socioeconomic status.
