Summary:
ZIP code 47637 contains one elementary school, Tennyson Elementary School, serving grades K–5 in Tennyson, Indiana, as part of Warrick County School Corp.
With 60 students, Tennyson is very small, and that shapes how parents should read its results: grade-level percentages can swing with just one or two students. The school’s clearest strengths are attendance, staffing, and spending. In 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 4.8%, compared with 11.2% for the district and 16.7% for the state. The student-teacher ratio was 8.5:1, and per-student spending was $21,193 in 2023–2024. Its free/reduced lunch rate was 63.33% in 2024–2025. These figures suggest a small, relatively well-resourced learning environment with strong attendance.
Academically, Tennyson’s results are mixed. Social studies is a relative bright spot: 5th-grade proficiency was 66.67% in 2025–2026 and 69.23% in 2024–2025, both well above the state. In 2024–2025, all-grade science was 69.23%, above the district’s 59.73%, but the 2025–2026 school-level science value was suppressed. ELA and math generally trail district levels: in 2025–2026, all-grade ELA was 34.48% versus 57.86% for the district, and all-grade math was 48.28% versus 63.23%. Fifth-grade ELA was 33.33%, below the district’s 63.07% and the state’s 42.2%; fifth-grade math was 50%, below the district’s 64.82% but above the state’s 42%. The district itself ranks in the 93rd percentile with 5 stars, while Tennyson has ranked between the 64th and 78th percentiles with 3–4 stars over the past three years. Several school-level values are suppressed and should be treated as unknown, not as zero or poor performance.
