Summary

Chrisney Elementary School is a PK–6 public school with 216 students in the small town of Chrisney, Indiana, part of the North Spencer County School Corp, a district ranked 11th out of 374 Indiana districts. For 2025–2026, the school ranks 141st out of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools, placing it in the 86th percentile with 4 stars. That is strong, though down from 66th in 2023–2024 and its recent best of 26th in 2015–2016. Because each grade is small, year-to-year results can swing noticeably.

Math is Chrisney’s clearest strength. Its 2025–2026 All Grades math proficiency was 78.26%, above the district’s 67.41% and the highest among nearby comparison schools. It beat the district in every tested math grade: 3rd grade 82.76%, 4th grade 86.49%, 5th grade 72.41%, and 6th grade 65%. Science was also solid overall at 63.16%, with 4th grade at 72.97%, though 6th grade science was 45%, below the district’s 54.42% but above the state. Social studies is a relative weakness: 5th grade proficiency was 48.28%, below the district’s 56.49% but slightly above the state’s 47.2%. Nearby Loge Elementary School, Oakdale Elementary School, Nancy Hanks Elementary School, and Yankeetown Elementary School posted much higher social studies results.

English Language Arts is more mixed. All Grades ELA was 58.26%, below the district’s 63.63%, and 6th grade ELA was a notable outlier at 30% versus the district’s 58.5% and the state’s 41.3%. Chronic absenteeism rose to 8.8% in 2024–2025—better than the state’s 16.7% but above the district’s 7.0% and the highest among same-district peers like Nancy Hanks Elementary School (3.2%), Lincoln Trail Elementary School (4.4%), and David Turnham Education Center (5.9%). Spending was $9,843 per student in 2023–2024, down from $13,250, while the student-teacher ratio improved to 14.3. Overall, Chrisney is a high-performing school in a very strong district, anchored by excellent math; its next steps are ELA consistency, social studies, and absenteeism.

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
