About Oregon-davis Elementary School

Oregon-Davis Elementary School serves 310 students in Hamlet, Indiana, from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade.

The combination of strong academics, exceptional growth, and an attentive classroom environment puts this school well above most of what Indiana public education offers at the elementary level.
