Summary:

ZIP code 46140, which covers Greenfield and the surrounding area, is home to 9 public schools — 6 elementary, 2 middle, and 1 high school — serving 4,968 students across three districts. Seven schools belong to Greenfield-Central Com Schools, while Mt Vernon Community School Corp and New Palestine Community Schools each operate one school in the ZIP. Free/reduced lunch ranges from 25.74% at Brandywine Elementary to 58.61% at Harris Elementary, and chronic absenteeism sits at or below the state rate of 16.7% at nearly every school here.

The elementary schools are the strength of this area. Eden Elementary School ranks 93 of 1,015 (91st percentile, 5 stars), with ELA at 66.25% and math at 73.75% — far above its district's 38.47% ELA and 42.82% math. Brandywine Elementary School, in the highest-ranked district in the set, is nearly as strong and has held the 86th–89th percentile for three reporting years. Weston Elementary School stands out in math and science (56.58% science, the best elementary science result in the ZIP) but posts the lowest elementary ELA at 31.93%. Harris Elementary School spends the most per student at $14,047 yet shows relatively low ELA.

Middle and high school results are more mixed. Greenfield Central Junior High School has the lowest math proficiency in the data set at 26.95%, though its Biology EOC of 98% is an extreme outlier above district (57.27%) and state rates — likely reflecting a small or selective cohort. Greenfield Intermediate School posts 35.00% ELA and 42.67% math. Greenfield-Central High School beats the state in graduation (91.4% vs. 89.7%) and SAT ERW (53.01% vs. 51.9%) but trails in SAT Math (23.21% vs. 25.6%). Overall, the ZIP offers excellent elementary options, with middle and high school math the clearest weakness.
