Summary

Northeast East Elementary School serves 167 students in grades PK–6 in Hymera, IN, a small town in Sullivan County, and is part of Northeast School Corp. It is the smallest school in its comparison group, yet in 2025–2026 it ranked 179th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (82nd percentile, 4 stars) — the highest rank among nearby schools and a major rebound from 2023–2024, when it was at the 49th percentile (2 stars). Its own district ranks only 36th percentile, making the school an outlier: Northeast North Elementary School, 6.33 miles away in the same district, sits at the 27th percentile (1 star).

Test scores, especially in math, are the school's signature strength. In 2025–2026 ILEARN results, 67.57% of students were proficient in math — 34.24 points above the district average and the highest among nearby schools, ahead of Dixie Bee Elementary School (61.25%), Linton-Stockton Elementary (58.50%), and Clay City Elementary School (58.37%). Every tested grade beat the state in math, including 4th grade at 81.25% versus the state's 52.0%. ELA was solid at 45.95%, above the district but slightly behind Linton-Stockton and Dixie Bee; 4th grade ELA (37.50%) was the main soft spot, below the state's 42.2%. Science (58.82%) and 5th grade social studies (71.43%) were also strong, though social studies jumped from 14.29% a year earlier and should be read cautiously at a school this small.

Chronic absenteeism fell from 30.7% in 2021–2022 to 11.0% in 2024–2025, below both district (12.9%) and state (16.7%) rates, and that improvement lines up with the academic rebound. Notably, 64.67% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch — the second-highest rate nearby — and the student/teacher ratio of 18.5 is higher than most nearby schools, yet Northeast East still outperforms lower-poverty schools such as Sullivan Elementary School and Hoosier Prairie Elementary School, both at the 21st–25th percentile. Per-pupil spending rose to $11,595 in 2023–2024. One caveat: it serves PK–6 while several neighbors stop at grade 5, and with only 167 students, year-to-year percentages can swing on small cohorts.
