Best High Schools in Zip Code 46235

Summary:

There is only one high school located in the 46235 zip code - the James and Rosemary Phalen Leadership Academy High School. This school serves a predominantly African American and Hispanic student population, with a high percentage of students from low-income families. Unfortunately, the school has consistently underperformed compared to other high schools in Indiana, ranking in the bottom quartile for the past three years.

The school's academic outcomes are a major concern, with very low proficiency rates on standardized tests like the SAT and ILEARN.

These challenges likely contribute to the school's low 4-year graduation rate of 81.6%.

Overall, the data suggests that the James and Rosemary Phalen Leadership Academy High School is facing significant obstacles in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's persistent underperformance, academic disparities, and high rates of poverty and absenteeism indicate that targeted interventions and support are needed to improve student outcomes and ensure all students in this community have access to a strong education.
