Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 46227

Summary:

The 7 elementary schools located in the 46227 zip code area of Indianapolis, Indiana are all part of the Perry Township Schools district, which is ranked 197 out of 381 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. These schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Two schools stand out as top performers: Douglas MacArthur Elementary School and William Henry Burkhart Elementary. Both schools consistently rank in the top 36% of Indiana elementary schools, with strong test scores that exceed district and state averages. In contrast, other schools like Clinton Young Elementary and Winchester Village Elementary struggle to meet academic benchmarks and have high chronic absenteeism rates.

The data reveals significant disparities in educational opportunities and resources within the district. Schools with higher percentages of Asian and White students tend to have the strongest academic outcomes, while those with larger populations of African American and Hispanic students perform worse. Addressing these equity concerns and ensuring all students in the 46227 zip code have access to quality education should be a priority for the Perry Township Schools district.
