Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 46068

Summary:

The 46068 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Tri Central Elementary, which serves students from the Tri-Central Community Schools district. Tri Central Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Tri Central Elementary outperforms its district average in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, but struggles to match the state-level performance, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade. The school's 5th grade social studies proficiency rate is notably higher than the state average. However, the school faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, which may impact overall student achievement.

Despite its academic challenges, Tri Central Elementary operates efficiently, with a low student-teacher ratio and relatively low spending per student. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, indicating a stable academic performance. However, the school's lack of racial diversity may limit students' exposure to different cultures and perspectives, and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggests a need for additional resources and support to address the unique needs of the student population.
