Summary

Van Duyn Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Clinton, IN, serving 242 students as part of the South Vermillion Com School Corp. In 2025–26 it ranked 394th of 1,015 Indiana schools — the 61st percentile with 3 stars — placing it above the middle of the pack and above its own district's 55th-percentile standing.

For families weighing options, academics are a clear selling point. All-grade proficiency was 57.55% in Math, 46.94% in Science, and 39.62% in English Language Arts — every subject above district averages and above the nearby-school average. Math is the standout: 3rd grade Math reached 63.16%, well above the state's 51.9%, and 4th grade Math (51.02%) sits essentially at the state level. Science also beat the district's 41.88% and the 4th-grade state figure of 43.8%. The contrast with Central Elementary School, just 3.08 miles away in the same district, is striking: Van Duyn outperforms it by 23.3 points in ELA, 11.0 points in Math, and 8.7 points in Science.

Attendance is an exceptional strength. Chronic absenteeism is just 6.3%, less than half the state rate of 16.7% and far below the district's 13.7% — among nearby schools only Rosedale Elementary School (3.7%) is lower. The long-term trend is upward: Van Duyn climbed from the 28th percentile in 2018–19 to the 61st in 2025–26, peaking at the 72nd percentile (4 stars) in 2024–25. The main growth area is ELA, where grade-level results run slightly below state benchmarks (3rd grade 38.6% vs. 40.8%; 4th grade 40.82% vs. 42.2%) and where Rockville Elementary School (50%) posts a higher rate. Science also dipped from 63.46% to 46.94%, though it still exceeds state and district figures.
