Summary:

Zip code 47591 is Vincennes, Indiana, where 9 schools serve roughly 3,923 students from elementary through high school across two districts: South Knox School Corp, which ranks 183 of 374 districts (51st percentile, 3 stars), and Vincennes Community School Corp (VCS), which ranks 261 of 374 (30th percentile, 2 stars). Enrollment ranges widely, from 117 students at Washington Learning Academy to 704 at Lincoln High School.

Among the five elementary schools, South Knox Elementary School is the standout: 653 students, ranked 361 of 1,015 (64th percentile, 3 stars), with math at 50.00% proficient, science at 47.62%, 5th-grade social studies at 61.80%, and the lowest chronic absenteeism in the area at 6.7%. Benjamin Franklin Elementary School is VCS's bright spot, with math at 50.67% versus the district's 36.24% and absenteeism at 10.7%. At the other elementaries — Tecumseh-Harrison Elementary School, Francis Vigo Elementary School, and James Whitcomb Riley Elementary School — math generally runs about 11 to 20 points above reading.

Older grades show the biggest gaps. Middle-school math is weak: George Rogers Clark School posts 26.71% in math, with 8th-grade math at 17.28%, far below the state's 34.2%, and South Knox Middle-High School reports ILEARN math at 24.02%. SAT math is low area-wide: 16.11% at Lincoln High, 9.76% at South Knox Middle-High, and 4.35% at Washington Learning Academy, against a state mark of 25.6% — even though Lincoln High (98.7%) and South Knox Middle-High (97.9%) graduate students at high rates. Washington Learning Academy is a severe outlier, with 67.5% chronic absenteeism, a 30.4 student-teacher ratio, and 71.79% FRL. Notably, higher spending and smaller classes do not track with stronger results.
