Summary:
The 46155 zip code area has only one elementary school, Mays Community Academy, a public charter school serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 120 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Indiana elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating persistent academic challenges.
Mays Community Academy's student population is overwhelmingly White (94.17%), which is not representative of the racial diversity typically found in many public schools. The school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 31.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, and its academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.23% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.6% for 3rd grade.
Despite the relatively high spending per student ($15,779 for the 2021-2022 school year) and a student-teacher ratio of 30:1, the Mays Community Academy has struggled to provide a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the school's challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and low academic performance, should be a priority for the school and its stakeholders to ensure that students receive the support they need to succeed.
