Summary:
The 46235 zip code area in Indiana is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a student population that faces significant economic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the schools, Andrew J Brown Academy stands out as the highest-performing, ranking in the bottom 15% of Indiana schools and receiving a 1-star rating. In contrast, Phalen at Francis Scott Key 103 and James and Rosemary Phalen Leadership Academy High School are the lowest-performing, ranking in the bottom 10% and 5% of Indiana schools, respectively, and receiving 0-star ratings. The majority of the schools in the area have test scores that are significantly below the state and district averages, with many schools having less than 20% of students proficient or better.
The data also reveals high rates of chronic absenteeism across all the schools, ranging from 17.8% to 27.8%. This issue likely contributes to the low academic performance observed in the area. While the schools have relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $12,196 to $22,631 per student, and varying student-teacher ratios, these factors alone do not appear to be the sole solution to improving the educational outcomes for the students in this zip code.
