Summary

Adelaide De Vaney Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Terre Haute, Indiana, serving 440 students in the Vigo County School Corp. It currently ranks 601st of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools for 2025–2026 — 41st percentile, 2 stars — which places it above its district overall but behind the strongest nearby schools. The district itself ranks low statewide at 270th of 374 districts. The school was a 4-star school in 2020–2021 and 2017–2018, but has been in a 2-star range for the last three years.

Attendance is the school’s standout strength. Its chronic absenteeism rate was 12.8% in 2024–2025, far below the district’s 27.4% and the state’s 16.7%, and essentially tied with Dixie Bee Elementary School (12.7%). This is notable because the school’s free/reduced lunch rate (57.7%) is higher than Dixie Bee’s (45.2%) and Lost Creek Elementary School’s (48.4%). Science is another bright spot: 4th grade science proficiency was 43.3%, essentially matching the state’s 43.8% and above the district’s 37.9%. ELA is above district averages, though still below state averages.

Math is the clearest area to watch. All-grades math proficiency fell from 43.9% in 2024–2025 to 36.6% in 2025–2026. Fifth grade math was 27.4%, below the district’s 28.6% and far below the state’s 42.0%, while 3rd grade math was 38.2%, below the district’s 44.5%. The gap to top nearby schools is largest in math: the school 36.6% vs. Dixie Bee Elementary School 61.3% and Lost Creek Elementary School 56.7%. Fifth grade social studies has been volatile, so it is best monitored rather than read as a trend. The school spends $9,989 per student and has a 15.6 student-teacher ratio, yet outperforms many nearby schools with higher spending and lower ratios. Overall, it is mid-tier: stronger than its district and most nearby peers, but well behind the two 4-star schools.
