Summary:

Tennyson, Indiana has one listed public school: Tennyson Elementary School, an elementary school serving grades K–5 at 323 N Main St with 60 students enrolled. It belongs to Warrick County School Corp, a district ranked 26th of 374 in Indiana — the 93rd percentile — with 5 stars. The area has no listed middle, high, or alternative schools, so local public schooling is elementary-only.

The clearest strength is attendance. Chronic absenteeism at Tennyson Elementary was 4.8% in 2024–2025, compared with 11.2% in the district and 16.7% statewide — less than half the district rate and roughly 29% of the state rate. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 8.5, implying roughly 7 teachers for 60 students, and high per-student spending of $21,193 in 2023–2024. About 63.33% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, so the school serves a majority economically disadvantaged population. Because enrollment is only 60 across six grades, the average grade cohort is roughly 10 students, which makes year-to-year percentages swing sharply.

Academics are mixed. Rank moved from 3 stars and 64th percentile in 2023–2024, up to 4 stars and 78th percentile in 2024–2025, then to 3 stars and 68th percentile in 2025–2026 — above average statewide but below the district's 5-star profile. In 2025–2026, ELA All Grades was 34.48% proficient versus 57.86% in the district, and math was 48.28% versus 63.23%. Fifth-grade ELA was 33.33%, below the district's 63.07% and the state's 42.2%; fifth-grade math was 50%, below the district's 64.82% but above the state's 42%; fifth-grade social studies was 66.67%, below the district's 73.18% but well above the state's 47.2%. In 2024–2025, science was 69.23% versus 59.73% in the district, and social studies was 69.23% versus 66.35% district and 38.5% state. Many 2025–2026 grade-level results, including 3rd- and 4th-grade ELA and math and 4th-grade science, are suppressed or unknown; those should be treated as unavailable rather than as low performance.
