Summary

Marrs Elementary School is a K–5 school in Mount Vernon, Indiana serving 297 students as part of MSD Mount Vernon, and it is the standout school in its district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 55th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 95th percentile — with a 5-star rating, while its own district ranked 67th of 374 districts (82nd percentile, 4 stars). Over the last 10 listed school years, Marrs earned 5 stars seven times and 4 stars three times, with percentile ranks generally between the 84th and 95th.

Academically, Marrs sits in a different tier from most nearby schools. Its all-grade proficiency rates are 68.39% in English Language Arts, 75.48% in math, and 68.52% in science — well above district figures of 51.57%, 54.99%, and 56.73%. Grade-level results are broad and strong: 5th grade math is 80% and 5th grade ELA is 84%, each roughly double the state figure, while 4th grade ELA (51.85%) is the school's relative soft spot yet still above state and district. Among nearby schools, only South Terrace Elementary is comparable overall, ranking in the 96th percentile with slightly higher ELA (70.75%) and math (78.77%) but lower science (62.07%). Same-district West Elementary (ELA 45.34%) and Farmersville Elementary (ELA 42.37%) trail by wide margins, as do West Terrace Elementary, Cynthia Heights Elementary School, and the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp schools in the comparison group — Daniel Wertz Elementary School, Tekoppel Elementary School, Lincoln School, Delaware Elementary School, and Cedar Hall Community School.

Chronic absenteeism at Marrs was 7.8% in 2024–2025, less than half the state rate of 16.7% and below the district's 14.2%. Per-student spending was $12,605 with a student-to-teacher ratio of 12.3 — moderate resourcing that produces results stronger than several nearby schools spending more, such as West Elementary ($13,592) and Lincoln School ($16,173). The main areas to watch are 4th grade ELA and consistent social studies performance, where a single-year dip to 64.58% was followed by a rebound to 78%.
