Summary

Eminence Elementary School is a very small public school in the rural town of Eminence, Indiana, serving about 111 students in grades PK–5 as part of Eminence Community School Corp. The school ranked 672nd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 (34th percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranked 280th of 374. Its history shows a clear rise and partial fall: from the 9th percentile in 2018–2019 up to the 60th percentile in 2022–2023, then down to 49th and now 34th.

Eminence's clearest strengths are its size, staffing, and attendance. At 111 students it is the smallest elementary school among nearby peers — the next smallest, Centerton Elementary School, has 126 — and its student-teacher ratio of 11.1 is lower than almost every nearby school (only Fillmore Elementary School, at 10.9, is lower). Chronic absenteeism was 8.9% in 2024–2025, far below the district's 21.5% and the state's 16.7%, and a big improvement from 24.3% in 2021–2022. Per-student spending reached $17,343 in 2023–2024, the highest in the comparison group. Science is the academic bright spot, with 44.44% of students proficient — roughly matching the state's 43.8% in 4th-grade science and ahead of several nearby schools.

English language arts is the main concern. Only 18.03% of students were proficient in ELA in 2025–2026 — the lowest among nearby schools — down from 39.66% the year before, when it exceeded the district. Fifth-grade ELA was 5%, compared with 42.2% statewide, and 3rd-grade ELA was 14.29% versus 40.8%. Math proficiency was 39.34%. Notably, nearby schools with higher poverty, higher absenteeism, and lower spending still outperformed Eminence in core subjects: Gosport Elementary School, with a 71.81% free/reduced-lunch rate and 22.4% absenteeism, scored 33.33% in ELA, and Cloverdale Elementary School, spending $8,247 per student, reached 36.59% in ELA and 54.88% in math. Fillmore, a similar small school with comparable attendance and class size, scored 57.69% in ELA and 73.08% in math. Because grade cohorts here are tiny, one student can shift a grade-level percentage by several points, so families should watch multi-year trends rather than a single year.
