Summary

Yankeetown Elementary School is a K–5 school at 7422 Yankeetown Rd in Newburgh, Indiana (Warrick County) serving 310 students — the smallest of the seven Warrick County elementaries in this comparison — and it is part of the Warrick County School Corp.

Statewide, Yankeetown looks strong: it holds a 4-star rating, ranks 256th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (75th percentile) in 2025–26, and scores above the Indiana average in nearly every tested subject and grade. Math is a real strength at 61.90% proficient, with fifth grade 20.5 points above the state, and fifth-grade social studies is 21.6 points above the state at 68.75%. The catch is how it compares locally. Yankeetown is the lowest-ranked of the seven Warrick County School Corp elementaries, and its English language arts score of 43.54% is the lowest in that group by a wide margin — next lowest is Loge Elementary School at 52.63%, while Sharon Elementary School reaches 74.07%. In other words, the district ranks 26th of 374 in Indiana, but this school sits below its own district in every subject.

The bigger story is the trend. Yankeetown peaked in 2022–23 with 5 stars and 91st-percentile ranking, then slid about 16 percentile points over three years, with all-grade ELA dropping more than 13 points while the district held steady near 58%. Chronic absenteeism rose from 2.4% to 11.6% over the same period, now slightly above the district rate. Poverty and spending don't explain the gap: Yankeetown's free/reduced lunch rate (40.97%) is below that of Chandler Elementary School, and it spends more per student than Sharon or John H Castle Elementary School. With roughly 48–50 students per grade, single-subject swings can reflect a different cohort, so watch the multi-year ELA decline and absenteeism most closely.
