Summary:
The city of Tennyson, Indiana is home to a single public elementary school, Tennyson Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and has a total enrollment of 69 students. The school is part of the Warrick County School Corp, a highly-ranked school district in the state.
While Tennyson Elementary School is part of a strong district, the data suggests the school itself is not a standout performer in Indiana. The school's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, has declined over the past three years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, and Science falling below district and state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 209th out of 1,020 Indiana elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 359th out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars to 3 stars.
Another notable finding is the school's lack of diversity, with a 100% white student population. Furthermore, a high percentage of students (68.12%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's adequate funding and resources, as evidenced by its low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, these factors do not appear to be translating into strong academic performance, suggesting that targeted interventions may be needed to improve educational outcomes for the students of Tennyson Elementary School.
