Summary

Tennyson Elementary School in Tennyson, Indiana, is a very small K–5 school serving just 60 students as part of the Warrick County School Corp, a 5-star district ranked 26th of 374 Indiana districts. For 2025–2026, the school ranked 329th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (68th percentile, 3 stars), down from 222nd of 1,005 (78th percentile, 4 stars) the year before. It has the most resource-intensive profile among nearby schools: $21,193 in per-student spending, roughly double the nearby median, and an 8.5:1 student/teacher ratio, far lower than peers ranging from 11.1 to 19.7. Its free/reduced lunch rate of 63.33% is also the highest in the comparison group.

Academically, results are mixed. Tennyson's 2025–2026 ELA proficiency of 34.48% and math proficiency of 48.28% are the lowest among nearby schools and well below district averages. By contrast, 5th-grade social studies at 66.67% is almost 20 points above the state and near the median of nearby schools, though behind Loge Elementary School (81.97%) and Lynnville Elementary School (74.29%). Science results for 2025–2026 are suppressed, as are 3rd- and 4th-grade ELA, math, and science scores, because the cohorts are too small to report.

Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism was 4.8% in 2024–2025, well below the district (11.2%) and state (16.7%), and comparable to the best nearby schools such as Nancy Hanks Elementary School (3.2%) and Holland Elementary School (4.2%). The school's small size cuts both ways: it likely supports the low class sizes and strong attendance, but it makes test results highly volatile and hides much of the academic pipeline. Parents may want to ask whether the recent ELA and math dip reflects a small-cohort fluctuation or a broader trend.
