Summary:
ZIP 46167 covers Pittsboro, Indiana, and is home to just two schools — Pittsboro Primary School (PK–2, 332 students) and Pittsboro Elementary School (grades 3–5, 350 students) — which together form one PK–5 pathway serving about 682 students in a small town setting, with no middle or high school inside the ZIP. Both are part of North West Hendricks Schools, a 5-star district ranked #7 of 374 Indiana districts — roughly the 98th percentile — so these schools sit inside an already elite system rather than propping one up.
Pittsboro Elementary School is the standout. It has ranked in the top 5% of Indiana schools for three straight years (95th, 95th, and 96th percentile) and posts ILEARN proficiency roughly double the state: 3rd-grade ELA at 75.96% versus 40.8% statewide, 4th-grade ELA and math at 77.6%, and 3rd-grade math at 79.81%. It beats its own district in every ELA and math grade-level comparison except 5th grade. Its chronic absenteeism of 2.8% is about one-sixth of the state's 16.7%. Areas to note: 5th grade is the soft spot, where ELA (69.81) and social studies (61.32) trail the district, and all-grade math dipped slightly year over year, from 77.33% to 75.52%.
Pittsboro Primary School has no test scores — ILEARN starts in grade 3, so this is expected rather than a weakness. On the measures that do apply, it is solid: chronic absenteeism of 5.9% matches the district and is well under the state's 16.7%, its student-teacher ratio of 15.7 is slightly better than the Elementary's 16.2, and it spends the most per student in the ZIP at $11,768. The clearest gap in the data is attendance at the early grades, where the Primary's rate is more than double the Elementary's 2.8% — that is where extra parent support and intervention would pay off most.
