Summary
Stockwell Elementary School is a K–5 school at 2501 N Stockwell Rd in Evansville, Indiana, serving 545 students as part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. For 2025–26 it holds a 1-star rating and ranks 773 of 1,015 Indiana schools — the 24th percentile — placing it slightly below its own district (31st percentile). On the 2025–26 ILEARN tests, 23.6% of students were proficient in English language arts, 28.8% in math, and 18.8% in science, compared with district rates of 34.3%, 34.5%, and 32.9%.
The most striking pattern is a long decline: Stockwell sat at the 61st percentile in 2018–19 and has fallen to the 24th, losing two star levels along the way. Science is the sharpest weakness — 18.8% is far below both the district and the state (43.8%) — and the two youngest tested grades lag badly, with third-grade ELA at 16.3% and fourth-grade ELA at 13.0%. Fifth grade is a real bright spot, though, at 41.0% proficient in ELA and 38.6% in social studies, both above the district. Attendance is also a strength: chronic absenteeism improved to 18.9%, better than the district's 21.5%.
The comparison parents should weigh most is Vogel Elementary School, 1.59 miles away in the same district. Vogel serves a very similar student population — nearly identical poverty rates, enrollment, and per-student spending ($11,858 vs. $11,576) — yet it is a 3-star, 54th-percentile school with ELA at 42.5%, math at 43.9%, and science at 43.0%. That points to school-level factors rather than demographics alone. Meanwhile, spending at Stockwell has risen 17% while results have fallen, and Oak Hill Elementary achieves 5-star results on less money and larger classes. Stockwell is a mid-to-lower-tier school: stronger than several nearby schools, but well behind demographically similar ones, and its biggest opportunity looks instructional rather than financial.
