Summary

Veale Elementary School is a small public school in Washington, Indiana, serving about 81 students in grades K–4 as part of Washington Community Schools. Although the district ranks 226th of 374 in Indiana (40th percentile, 2 stars), Veale is a strong performer, ranking 215th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 (79th percentile, 4 stars). That is not a one-year spike: Veale earned 4 stars in 8 of the last 10 listed years, with a dip to 50th percentile/3 stars in 2022–2023 and a rebound to 87th percentile in 2023–2024, 80th in 2024–2025, and 79th in 2025–2026.

Academically, Veale’s all-grade ILEARN proficiency in 2025–2026 was 57.89% in English Language Arts, 68.42% in math, and 42.11% in science, far above district rates of 21.37%, 28.45%, and 23.35%, respectively. Math has been especially consistent, and ELA reached its highest recent level. By contrast, science is a relative weak spot and fluctuates; because Veale serves K–4, its all-grade science score is essentially just 4th-grade science, so small cohort changes matter. Against nearby schools, Veale outranks same-district Washington Intermediate (16th percentile, 1 star) by a wide margin and posts higher ELA and math than Loogootee Elementary School, though Loogootee’s science proficiency is much higher (72.55% vs. 42.11%).

Veale is the smallest school in its nearby comparison group, with about 19 students per grade; one student is worth roughly 5.3 percentage points at the grade level, so year-to-year swings should be read cautiously. Its chronic absenteeism was 12.8% in 2024–2025, better than the district’s 23.8% and state’s 16.7%, but higher than nearby Barr Reeve Elementary School (3.5%), Ireland Elementary School (2.9%), and Loogootee Elementary School (9.8%). Veale’s student–teacher ratio is low at 11.8, and per-pupil spending of $15,890 in 2023–2024 is the highest among reviewed nearby schools. Compared with Loogootee, Veale gets stronger ELA/math results with more resources, while Loogootee gets stronger science and attendance with less spending. Caveats: the 2020–2021 0.0% absenteeism figure is likely a pandemic-era anomaly, and the 2023–2024 student–teacher ratio is unknown.
