Summary:
Chrisney, Indiana is served by a single school in this data set — Chrisney Elementary School, a small PK–6 elementary with 216 students in the North Spencer County School Corp. Because there are no middle or high schools listed here, grade 6 is the highest grade available locally. The surrounding district is high-performing, ranking 11th of 374 districts statewide with 5 stars, and the school itself sits in the top 14% of Indiana schools, so families are looking at a strong academic environment with a small-school feel and a 14.3 student-teacher ratio.
Math is the clearest strength. Chrisney Elementary outperformed its district in every tested math grade in 2025–2026: 3rd grade at 82.76%, 4th grade at 86.49%, 5th grade at 72.41%, and 6th grade at 65% — all well above state results. All Grades Math came in at 78.26% versus the district's 67.41%. 4th grade ELA (75.68%) and 4th grade science (72.97%) were also strong, each far ahead of the state. Overall, the school remains highly ranked, though it has cooled slightly from its 2023–2024 peak, when it was 66th of 1,011 schools in the 93rd percentile with 5 stars; in 2025–2026 it ranked 141st of 1,015 in the 86th percentile with 4 stars.
The main areas to watch are ELA in the upper grades and a few subject dips. 6th grade ELA is the weakest result at 30% proficient, below both the district's 58.5% and the state's 41.3%, even as All Grades ELA improved from 46.85% to 58.26% year over year. All Grades Science declined from 69.81% to 63.16%, with 6th grade science at 45%, and 5th grade social studies fell from 55% to 48.28%. Chronic absenteeism is 8.8% — much lower than the state's 16.7% but slightly above the district's 7.0%, making it a reasonable improvement target.
