Summary

Riley Elementary School in Riley, IN is a PK–5 school with 401 students in the Vigo County School Corp, a district ranked 270th of 374 Indiana districts (28th percentile, 1 star). Riley itself ranks higher than its district: 449th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026, 56th percentile, 3 stars. Its all-grades ILEARN proficiency was 41.82% in English language arts, 49.09% in math, 45% in science, and 42.86% in 5th-grade social studies — all above district averages of 31.23%, 33%, 35.12%, and 38.65%. However, the school's rank history shows a long slide: 5 stars and 92nd percentile in 2017–2018, down to 3 stars every year since 2021–2022.

Compared with nearby Vigo schools, Riley beats most but trails the top two: Lost Creek Elementary School and Dixie Bee Elementary School outscore Riley in every subject. Staunton Elementary School, in another district, is far ahead. Riley's results also vary by grade — third grade is strong (55.36% ELA and 64.29% math, both well above state), while 5th grade is below state in every subject. Attendance is a standout strength: chronic absenteeism was 6.9% in 2024–2025, versus 27.4% district and 16.7% state, and the lowest among nearby schools. Riley's free/reduced-lunch rate of 35.16% is also the lowest among nearby Vigo schools. Per-student spending was $10,723, with a 15.6 student-teacher ratio.

Math has declined over time — from 57.4% in 2022–2023 to 49.09% in 2025–2026 — while science improved to 45%. Because Riley has relatively low absenteeism and less economic disadvantage than surrounding schools, its position behind the top nearby schools stands out. Note that Deming Early Learning Center serves PK–3 and has no test-score data, so it is not comparable. Overall, Riley is a solid school performing above its district, with room to grow in upper grades, math, science, and social studies.
