Summary:
All 11 schools in ZIP 46038 belong to Hamilton Southeastern Schools, a district ranked 6th of 374 in Indiana with 5 stars, and together they serve PK–12 students: six elementary schools (PK–4), four middle schools split into two 5–6 intermediate schools and two 7–8 junior highs, and one high school, enrolling 10,243 students combined — 35.0% at the high school, 33.5% in middle schools, and 31.5% in elementaries.
Thorpe Creek Elementary ranks 20th of 1,015 elementary schools with 80.31% all-grade math proficiency and the ZIP's lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 12.03%, while New Britton Elementary School posts the highest all-grade ELA at 74.69% despite a 32.69% free/reduced lunch rate — more than double Thorpe Creek's. Harrison Parkway Elementary School has the highest poverty rate in the set (39.79%) yet ranks 46th of 1,015 and climbed from rank 201, and Sand Creek Elementary jumped from 246 to 57 with large ELA, math, and science gains. Riverside Junior High ranks 7th of 486 middle schools with the lowest chronic absenteeism (3.7%), and Fishers High School enrolls 3,590 — more than all six elementaries combined — with a 99.7% graduation rate and a top-1% state ranking.
Every school with state comparison data exceeds the state average in every reported subject. Chronic absenteeism ranges from 3.7% to 11.7% (median 6.4%), all below the state's 16.7%, and free/reduced lunch spans 12.03% to 39.79%. Elementary math generally outpaces ELA, science is usually the weakest elementary subject, and per-student spending ($10,889–$13,126) and student-teacher ratios (14.6–20.6) show no simple relationship with outcomes.
