Summary

Riley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 376 students in grades PK-5 in the Vigo County School Corporation district in Riley, Indiana. The school's performance has fluctuated over the past several years, ranging from a high ranking of 86th out of 1,027 Indiana elementary schools in 2017-2018 to a lower ranking of 358th out of 1,005 in 2024-2025.

Despite the fluctuations, Riley Elementary consistently outperforms the Vigo County School Corporation district and the state of Indiana in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 55.49% of Riley Elementary's 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ILEARN Math, compared to 33.32% for the district and 51.5% for the state. However, the school's performance is not the highest in the area, as nearby schools like Staunton Elementary and Lost Creek Elementary consistently rank higher and have higher academic proficiency rates.

Another area of interest is Riley Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate, which has fluctuated from 6.6% in 2020-2021 to 26.9% in 2022-2023. While this rate is higher than the state average, it is still lower than some nearby schools, such as Benjamin Franklin Elementary and Deming Early Learning Center, which had rates of 17.8% in 2023-2024. Additionally, Riley Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 26.23% in 2021-2022 to 34.87% in 2022-2023, which is significantly lower than some nearby schools.
