Yankeetown Elementary consistently performs above the state average in ILEARN assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, Yankeetown's proficiency rates were 50% in ELA, 57.79% in Math, and 70.21% in Science, compared to the state averages of 40.3%, 51.5%, and 43.2% respectively. The school's performance is also strong compared to the Warrick County School Corporation, with Yankeetown outperforming the district in most subject areas and grade levels.
