Summary:

ZIP code 46236 contains 9 schools — 8 elementary and 1 middle, with no high school inside the ZIP — enrolling 7,687 students, eight of them in MSD Lawrence Township and one, Phalen at Francis Scott Key 103, in the Phalen Leadership Academy at Francis Scott Key School 103 district. The largest schools are Fall Creek Valley Middle School (1,355), Early Learning Center (1,313) and Forest Glen Elementary School (971); the smallest is Oaklandon Elementary School (507). Because the only secondary school is Fall Creek Valley Middle (grades 7–8), families should evaluate feeder high schools outside the ZIP separately.

Amy Beverland Elementary and Forest Glen Elementary School are the academic standouts: both hold 4 stars, with Amy Beverland ranked 181/1015 (82nd percentile) and posting the ZIP's highest scores — 56.42% ELA, 62.65% math and 52.09% science — plus the lowest chronic absenteeism (7.1%) and lowest reported free/reduced lunch rate (36%). Forest Glen ranks 290/1015 (71st percentile). Fall Creek Valley Middle School earned 3 stars and climbed to the 60th percentile, with Biology at 78.2% and ELA at 44.8%, both above district levels, though math (28.86%) trails the district's 32%. Phalen at Francis Scott Key 103 is the most challenged: 0 stars, ranked 932/1015, the ZIP's lowest scores (10.54% ELA, 21.43% math, 9.71% science), the highest absenteeism (34.9%) and highest FRL rate (74.02%).

The spread inside one ZIP is striking — Amy Beverland's ELA sits roughly 45.9 points above Phalen's. Higher spending and smaller classes do not track with stronger results here: Phalen has the lowest student-teacher ratio (14.0) and spends $13,074 per student, while the top performers spend less with larger ratios. Sunnyside Elementary School, Indian Creek Elementary School and Winding Ridge Elementary School sit at 1 star with low ELA and science proficiency, while Oaklandon Elementary School is stable at 2 stars. The PK–K Early Learning Center spends the most ($15,087) and has the highest absenteeism among MSD Lawrence schools (24.7%).
