Summary

Sharon Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 724 students in Newburgh, Indiana, part of the Warrick County School Corp in the Evansville area. It is one of the top-performing elementary schools in the state: in 2025–26 it ranked 22nd out of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools, placing it in the 98th percentile with a 5-star rating. That is not a one-year spike — Sharon climbed from 80th in 2020–21 into the low 20s and has stayed there for three straight years, earning 5 stars every year since 2017–18.

What sets Sharon apart is reading and math. Its all-grade ELA proficiency is 74.07% and math is 80.63%, the strongest results among its nearby peers. The closest same-district schools, John H Castle Elementary School and Newburgh Elementary School, sit at the 94th percentile, while nearby Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp schools rank far lower — from the 6th to the 37th percentile — despite spending more per student and having smaller classes. Science (61.97%) and social studies (71.84%) are solid but comparatively softer; John H Castle and Chandler Elementary School score higher in science. Sharon spends less per student ($9,096) and has a larger student-teacher ratio (18.1) than most neighbors, yet still posts higher core-subject results.

Two things are worth watching. Chronic absenteeism has risen sharply, from 3.9% in 2022–23 to 14.5% in 2024–25 — the highest among the same-district peers shown and above the district's 11.2%, though still below the state's 16.7%. Since achievement remains high, this looks like an early signal to monitor. Also note that the 2.62% free/reduced-lunch figure reported for 2023–24 is a data anomaly; adjacent years were about 45%, so don't read it as a real change. Overall, Sharon delivers top-2% outcomes with efficient use of resources.
