Summary:
There are five elementary schools serving zip code 46237 in Indiana, catering to various grade levels. These schools are part of either Perry Township Schools or Franklin Township Com School Corp. The area appears to have a significant student population that qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, with four out of the five schools having over 70% of their students in this category.
When comparing the schools, Bunker Hill Elementary School stands out for its exceptional performance in math, with a proficiency rate significantly higher than both district and state averages. Mary Bryan Elementary School also demonstrates strong math scores, often exceeding averages, particularly in the 3rd and 4th grades. In contrast, most schools in the zip code tend to perform below state averages in English Language Arts (ELA), with Jeremiah Gray Elementary and Mary Bryan Elementary also falling below their respective district averages in ELA. Arlington Elementary School has shown some improvement in ELA but still lags behind the state.
A notable observation across all five schools is a uniform chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting a potential issue that may extend beyond individual schools. In terms of resources, Mary Bryan Elementary and Arlington Elementary have higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios compared to Jeremiah Gray Elementary, Bunker Hill Elementary, and Jeremiah Gray Kindergarten. Historically, Bunker Hill Elementary and Arlington Elementary were recognized as top-performing schools, though current statewide rankings are not available for them.
