Summary

Cynthia Heights Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 451 students in Evansville, Indiana, as part of Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. Although the district ranks 258th of 374 in Indiana, Cynthia Heights ranks 335th of 1,015 schools statewide in 2025–2026—top third in the state. It has been stronger recently, peaking at 143rd of 1,016 in 2022–2023 before slipping to 250th in 2024–2025 and 335th in 2025–2026, with its star rating dropping from 4 to 3.

Academically, the school is well above district averages. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 49.57% in English Language Arts, 54.7% in Math, and 43.04% in Science, compared with district rates of 34.34%, 34.47%, and 32.88%. It is above the state in ELA and Math but slightly below in Science. Among nearby schools, McCutchanville Elementary School and West Terrace Elementary School rank higher. The school is close to West Terrace Elementary School in ELA (49.57% vs. 49.12%) but behind in Math, Science, and Social Studies. It ranks ahead of Highland Elementary School, Daniel Wertz Elementary School, Stringtown Elementary School, Tekoppel Elementary School, Cedar Hall Community School, Delaware Elementary School, Evans School, and Lincoln School.

Attendance is a standout strength: chronic absenteeism is 7.0%, versus 21.5% for the district and 16.7% statewide, and only two nearby schools have lower rates. About 37.03% of students received free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $11,503, with a 16.3 student–teacher ratio. The school gets solid results with moderate poverty and relatively restrained spending, though class sizes are larger than many higher-poverty nearby schools. The main concern is a multi-year decline in statewide rank and proficiency, especially in math, science, and social studies. Targeted support in 4th grade math and science could help the school return to the 4-star, top-20% standing it held as recently as 2022–2023 while maintaining its excellent attendance.
