Summary:

Zip code 46068 is home to one public elementary school, Tri Central Elementary, serving students in grades PK-5. This school is part of the Tri-Central Community Schools district.

Tri Central Elementary demonstrates particular strengths in 5th-grade English Language Arts and Social Studies, with proficiency rates in these areas exceeding both the district and state averages for the 2023-2024 school year. However, there is a notable gap in English Language Arts proficiency between 3rd and 5th graders, with 3rd graders showing significantly lower proficiency rates in both the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years. Math proficiency across all tested grades generally lags behind ELA scores, with 3rd-grade math proficiency in the 2024-2025 school year falling considerably below the Indiana average.

The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 457 and 547 over the past three years, consistently earning 2-3 SchoolDigger stars, indicating performance around the middle statewide. A chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in the 2023-2024 school year is a point of concern that could impact student learning. With over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a significant population with socioeconomic needs. Despite these challenges, the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.2 and a substantial spending per student of $9,996, suggesting resources are available for targeted interventions and instructional improvements. It is worth noting that preliminary data for the 2024-2025 school year shows a slight decrease in proficiency rates across most subjects and grade levels compared to the previous year, which warrants further observation.
