Summary

Sprunica Elementary School in Nineveh, Indiana, is a PK–5 school serving 264 students as part of the Brown County School Corporation, which ranks 133rd of 374 Indiana districts, and it currently sits in the middle of Indiana elementary schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 454th of 1,015 schools (55th percentile, 3 stars), down from 86th percentile in 2015–2016 but stable near the mid-50s for four years.

Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 12.8% in 2024–2025, below the district (19.8%) and state (16.7%), and better than same-district Helmsburg Elementary School and Van Buren Elementary School. This stands out because 60.23% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, among the highest of nearby schools. Sprunica also spends $14,716 per student—the most among nearby schools—and has a 13.7 student–teacher ratio, yet its results remain mid-pack. By contrast, Indian Creek Elementary School and Indian Creek Intermediate School, about 8.5 miles away, have lower free/reduced lunch rates and spend much less per student.

Academically, results are mixed. In 2025–2026, all-grades ELA was 50.4%, math 41.6%, science 45%, and 5th-grade social studies 33.33%. Third-grade math (64.86%) and ELA (54.05%) are above district and state, but 5th-grade math (16.67%) is far below district and state, and social studies has been a multi-year weakness. Helmsburg Elementary School outperforms Sprunica Elementary School in every core subject, while Van Buren Elementary School—though lower-ranked overall—beats it in math, science, and social studies. Nearby higher performers include Unionville Elementary School, Union Elementary School, Green Township Elementary School, and Creekside Elementary School, while Taylorsville Elementary School and East Side Elementary School rank lower.
