Summary:
ZIP code 46156 is home to just one school in the dataset — Milroy Elementary School, an elementary school serving grades K–6 with 165 students in the Rush County Schools district — so there are no middle, high, or alternative schools represented within the ZIP code itself.
Milroy Elementary's clearest strength is math. All-grade math proficiency was 55.95%, well above the district's 34.20%, and early-grade results were especially strong: 3rd grade math hit 75.86% (district 50.82%, state 51.90%) and 4th grade math reached 66.67% (district 37.50%, state 52.00%). Attendance is another standout, with chronic absenteeism at just 7.5% — far below the district's 14.3% and the state's 16.7%. The school also outranks its district overall, placing 465 of 1,015 schools at the 54th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, while the district sat at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars.
Areas to watch are upper-grade reading and math. Fifth-grade ELA was 25.00% and 6th-grade ELA 22.22%, both below district and state, while 5th-grade math (25.00%) also trailed the state. Science came in at 41.03% all-grade, above the district's 32.93% but slightly under state at tested grades, and 5th-grade social studies rose to 37.50% from 21.05% a year earlier — still below the state's 47.20%. Year over year, all-grade math climbed from 45.45% to 55.95%, while ELA slipped from 39.74% to 34.52% and science from 47.22% to 41.03%. With 57.58% of students receiving free/reduced lunch, roughly $13,902 spent per student, and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.3, the school serves a high-need population with relatively small classes.
