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.

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.
