Summary:
The 46012 zip code area in Indiana is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and no high schools or alternative schools. The data analysis reveals significant disparities in academic performance among these schools, with Eastside Elementary School consistently outperforming the other schools in the data set, as well as the district and state averages.
Eastside Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school, with the highest test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels. In 2024-2025, Eastside Elementary had 32.99% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district average of 18.68% and the state average of 40.3-42.7%. In Math, Eastside Elementary had 35.54% of students proficient or better, compared to the district average of 19.11% and the state average of 41.5-51.5%. The school also had the highest proficiency rates in Science and Social Studies compared to the other schools in the data set.
In contrast, Tenth Street Elementary School and Anderson Intermediate School had much lower proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels. This disparity in academic performance may be correlated with socioeconomic factors, as the schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tended to have lower academic performance. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between Anderson Intermediate ($6,235) and the other schools ($13,796-$15,363) may indicate funding disparities that could contribute to the academic performance gaps. The high chronic absenteeism rates (17.8%) across all schools in the data set are also a concern and may be a contributing factor to the overall academic performance challenges.
