Schools in Zip Code 61745

Zip code 61745 has two listed schools in Heyworth CUSD 4: Heyworth Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 6, and Heyworth High School, serving grades 9–12, with no middle school in the list; the most important finding is that the elementary’s above-state overall math result hides below-state proficiency in grades 5 and 6.

Both schools have clear strengths against state results, but no single school can be named the overall leader because they serve different grades and the available scores do not support a like-for-like comparison. At the elementary, all-grades ELA proficiency was 67% versus 56% statewide, an 11-point advantage, and fifth-grade science was 66% versus 48%, an 18-point lead. The overall math score was 47% versus 40%, but grades 3 and 4 were 18 and 15 points above their state figures while grades 5 and 6 were 5 and 4 points below. At the high school, ninth-grade math led the state by 10 points and tenth-grade ELA by 10 points; tenth-grade math was the clearest exception, at 27% versus 36%, a 10-point shortfall. Eleventh-grade ACT results were above state figures in ELA, math, and science, by 6, 1, and 4 points, respectively.

Recent elementary results moved in different directions: all-grades ELA rose from 61% in 2024–25 to 67% in 2025–26, while math fell from 55% to 47%; its math lead over the state narrowed from 16 points to 7. SchoolDigger’s relative rankings also fell, from the 74th to the 64th percentile for the elementary and from the 75th to the 67th for the high school. Other measures are similar in some respects: 2024–25 student-teacher ratios were 14.4 and 14.5, and both schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible (FRL) figures for 2024–25—24% at the elementary and 23% at the high school. The high school’s graduation rate was 96%, compared with 90% statewide; its chronic absenteeism was 12%, above the district’s 9% but below the state’s 24%.
