Summary:
Vincennes Community School Corp serves seven schools — four elementary, one middle, and two high — enrolling 2,708 students in and around Vincennes, Indiana, and ranks 261 of 374 districts statewide (30th percentile, 2 stars). The two largest, Lincoln High School (704 students) and George Rogers Clark School (626), together hold about 49% of enrollment; the smallest are James Whitcomb Riley Elementary School (154) and Washington Learning Academy (117). District chronic absenteeism is 18.9%, above the state's 16.7%.
Benjamin Franklin Elementary School is the only 3-star school in 2025–26 and leads the district with 39.56% ELA and 50.67% math, well above district averages of 29.41% and 36.24%, though its rank fell from 82nd percentile / 4 stars in 2023–24 to 52nd percentile / 3 stars. James Whitcomb Riley Elementary School combines the lowest chronic absenteeism (8.8%), the lowest student–teacher ratio (10.7), and the highest per-student spending ($14,531) with above-district math (46.58%) and science (40%). Tecumseh-Harrison Elementary School was the most improved, rising from 1 star to 40th percentile and 2 stars.
Concerns center on the upper grades. George Rogers Clark School trails district averages in ELA (27.5%), math (26.71%), and science (31.19%). Lincoln High School graduates 98.7% of students, yet its SAT ERW (43.62%) and SAT math (16.11%) remain below state averages of 51.9% and 25.6%. Washington Learning Academy is the extreme outlier: 0 stars, 3rd percentile, 67.5% chronic absenteeism, an 85.2% graduation rate, a 30.4 student–teacher ratio, $3,132 per-student spending, and SAT scores of 4.35% in both ERW and math. Elementary math is a district strength, but math and ELA outcomes weaken sharply after elementary school.
