Summary:
ZIP code 46140 in Greenfield, Indiana, has six elementary schools serving kindergarten through fourth grade (some PK–4) across three districts: Greenfield-Central Com Schools, Mt Vernon Community School Corp, and New Palestine Community Schools, with a combined enrollment of 2,384 students. District performance varies: New Palestine ranks 37 of 374, Mt Vernon 98 of 374, and Greenfield-Central 116 of 374, so school-level differences matter as much as district averages.
The academic standouts are Eden Elementary School and Brandywine Elementary School. Eden ranks #93 of 1,015 (91st percentile, 5 stars), with all-grade ELA 66.25%, Math 73.75%, and Science 53.13%; it also has low chronic absenteeism at 6.9%, free/reduced lunch at 27.63%, and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.9. Brandywine ranks #144 (86th percentile, 4 stars) and is consistently strong: ELA 59.71%, Math 72.86%, Science 52%, absenteeism 7.1%, and free/reduced lunch 25.74%. These two are the only schools here that exceed the state grade-level benchmark in every reported grade and subject.
Among the others, Weston Elementary School has the highest all-grade Science (56.58%) and solid Math, but the lowest all-grade ELA (31.93%). JB Stephens Elementary School has strong 3rd-grade results but weaker 4th-grade results and the highest chronic absenteeism at 15.3%, though still below the state’s 16.7%. Harris Elementary School serves the highest free/reduced lunch population (58.61%) and spends the most per student ($14,047), while Mt Comfort Elementary School is the largest school (714 students) with Math slightly above its district average but ELA and Science below. A shared strength is Math: every school’s all-grade Math is above its own district average, and higher spending does not simply translate into higher outcomes.
