Summary

Chrisney Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Chrisney, Indiana, part of the North Spencer County School Corporation. With 226 students, the school has consistently been ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, with a statewide ranking between 26th and 147th over the past 10 years.

Chrisney Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average in ILEARN test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 73.21% of students proficient or better in ILEARN Math, compared to the state average of 51.5% for 3rd grade. The school also outperforms its own district, North Spencer County School Corporation, in many subject areas, such as 4th grade ILEARN Math (83.33% vs. 66.06%) and 6th grade ILEARN Science (73.91% vs. 56.94%). However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.6% in 2020-2021 to 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Chrisney Elementary School outperforms many of the other schools in its own district, such as Nancy Hanks Elementary and David Turnham Education Center, in both test scores and overall school rankings. However, some schools outside the district, such as Loge Elementary and Luce Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance and may be worth further investigation.

This school is amazing! The teachers are stellar, from their teaching styles to their ability to connect with their students. The principal, Julie Kemp, is phenomenal. She is involved in each student's progress and plans, reads their Reader's Response notebooks (she grades as many as she can personally - every week), and knows where each one is at in their studies. She and the teachers make a great team and they put everything they have into helping the students achieve each and every goal they set. I couldn't have designed a better experience for my child, and I cannot say enough good things about this school! Close Quote
