Summary:
ZIP code 46164 in Nineveh, Indiana is served by a single public school—Sprunica Elementary School—which covers grades PK through 5 and enrolls 264 students as part of the Brown County School Corporation. Because it is the only school in the ZIP, there are no in-area comparisons to make; families should instead judge it against its district, the state, and its own past performance. Students move on to middle and high school outside the ZIP after fifth grade.
Sprunica's clearest strength is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 12.8% is well below the district's 19.8% and the state's 16.7%, and it achieves this even with a relatively high free/reduced-lunch rate of 60.23%. English Language Arts is also a relative strength: All Grades ELA reached 50.4% proficiency, above the district's 48.11% and up more than 6 percentage points from the prior year, while third-grade ELA (54.05%) and fifth-grade ELA (54.17%) both sat well above the state's 40.8% and 42.2%. Third-grade math is a standout at 64.86%, ahead of both district (56.64%) and state (51.9%), and fourth-grade math (50%) is close to both averages.
The academic picture is uneven by grade. Fifth-grade math is a severe weak spot at 16.67%, far below district (42.24%) and state (42%), and fifth-grade social studies—33.33%, though up from 26.83% the year before—remains below district and state. Science is mixed: All Grades science was 45%, slightly under the district's 48.22%, although fourth-grade science (45%) edged above the state's 43.8%. The school has held a 3-star rating each of the last three years, with its statewide rank moving from the 51st to the 55th percentile (454th of 1,015 schools) in 2025–2026, and per-student spending of $14,716 with a 13.7:1 student–teacher ratio. Overall, expect strong attendance, improving ELA, and solid early-grade math, but watch fifth-grade math and social studies closely.
