Summary:
ZIP code 47637 is served by a single public school, Tennyson Elementary School, a K–5 school with 60 students at 323 N Main St, Tennyson, IN, and it belongs to Warrick County School Corp — a highly rated district ranked 26 of 374 (93rd percentile, 5 stars).
The clearest strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 4.8% in 2024–2025, compared with 11.2% in the district and 16.7% statewide — less than half the district rate and under one-third of the state rate — even though 63.33% of students received free/reduced lunch. The school is also small and well-resourced, with a student–teacher ratio of 8.5 and per-student spending of $21,193 in 2023–2024. Academically, results are mixed. In 2024–2025 the school beat its district in Science (69.23% vs. 59.73%) and Social Studies (69.23% vs. 66.35%, well above the state's 38.5%). In 2025–2026 it trailed the district in ELA, Math, and Social Studies at the reported grade levels, though 5th-grade Math (50%) and 5th-grade Social Studies (66.67%) stayed above state levels (42% and 47.2%), while 5th-grade ELA (33.33%) fell below the state's 42.2%. Science and several grade-level ELA and Math scores were not reported at the school level.
Parents should note the school's rating history: 3 stars (64th percentile) in 2023–2024, 4 stars (78th percentile) in 2024–2025, and 3 stars (68th percentile) in 2025–2026 — still above its earliest percentile, but below the district's 93rd-percentile, 5-star profile. All-grades ELA slipped from 47.06% to 34.48% and Math from 52.94% to 48.28% between those two years. With only 60 students, single-year swings can reflect a handful of test-takers, so trends matter more than any one year. Overall, this is a tiny, well-funded school with exceptional attendance and periodic content-area strengths; its opportunity is making ELA and math results as consistent as its attendance.
