Summary

Stringtown Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 313 students in Evansville, Indiana, part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp, and it ranked 629 of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 (38th percentile, 2 stars) — a rebound from 760 of 1,005 (24th percentile, 1 star) the year before.

In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 35.63% in ELA and 40.88% in math, both above district averages; math is the school's strongest subject relative to the district, at 6.41 points above it. Science (29.17%) and 5th-grade social studies (28.85%) fell below district and state levels. Among nearby schools, Stringtown trails Oak Hill Elementary, Highland Elementary School, and Vogel Elementary School, but outranks Harper Elementary School, Stockwell Elementary School, Delaware Elementary School, Cedar Hall Community School, Evans School, and Lincoln School. Fifth grade is the clearest weak spot, with ELA at 25% and social studies at 28.85%, while 4th-grade ELA (42.86%) beat both district and state averages.

Chronic absenteeism of 15.5% is better than the district's 21.5% and the state's 16.7%, though it has climbed from 4.6% in 2020–2021. The free/reduced lunch rate is 52.08%, down from 61.49% and 63.25% in prior years, and lower than most nearby same-district schools. Per-pupil spending is $13,366, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.5. Notably, Oak Hill Elementary spends less and has larger classes yet far higher proficiency, suggesting resources alone do not explain results. Overall, this is a mid-tier, improving school whose most obvious instructional priorities appear to be 5th-grade ELA, social studies, and science.
