Yankeetown Elementary School

Summary:

Yankeetown Elementary School is a public K-5 school in Newburgh, Indiana, part of the highly-ranked Warrick County School Corp. With 287 students, Yankeetown stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, low chronic absenteeism, and favorable student-teacher ratios compared to many nearby schools.

Yankeetown Elementary consistently outperforms state and district averages on ILEARN assessments, particularly in math, with 60.78% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024 compared to 52.4% statewide. The school also has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 2.4% to 5.3% in recent years. Additionally, Yankeetown has a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (32-42%) compared to many Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp schools (over 75% at some), and a lower student-teacher ratio ranging from 12.2 to 17.9.

Yankeetown's strong performance is evident in its consistent ranking in the top 20-25% of Indiana elementary schools on the SchoolDigger statewide rankings over the past decade. For example, in 2023-2024, Dexter Elementary in Evansville had only 13.26% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 48.37% at Yankeetown. These factors suggest that Yankeetown's success is driven by a combination of district quality, student demographics, and effective instructional practices.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
