Summary

Washington Learning Academy is a small public school in Vincennes, Indiana, serving 117 students in grades 6–12 as part of the Vincennes Community School Corp. In 2025–2026 it ranked 404th of 415 Indiana schools (3rd percentile) with 0 stars, and it has never risen above the 8th percentile or earned a star in the six years shown. For comparison, Lincoln High School — in the same district, about 2.2 miles away — ranks 256th of 415 (38th percentile, 2 stars).

The most striking issue is attendance. Chronic absenteeism was 67.5% in 2024–25, well above the district (18.9%) and state (16.7%) rates, and nearly double the highest nearby school. Test proficiency is at or near zero: SAT English and Math were each 4.35% in 2025–26, while ILEARN English and Math and the Biology end-of-course exam were each 0%. Nearby schools such as North Knox Junior-Senior High School and South Knox Middle-High School score in the 30–54% range on several of these same measures. Because enrollment is small, a few students can shift percentages, but the pattern has repeated across subjects and years.

There is one clear bright spot: the graduation rate climbed from 40.0% in 2021–22 to 85.2% in 2024–25. That still trails the state (89.7%), the district (96.4%), and nearby high schools (95.2–98.7%). The school also serves a higher-poverty population (71.79% free/reduced lunch) with the lowest reported per-student spending ($3,132 versus $11,572–$13,313 nearby) and the highest student-teacher ratio (30.4 versus 14.9–17.1). Effectiveness rankings for students from low-income families and for male and female students sit at or near the bottom 10% statewide.
