Summary:
Zip code 46239 is home to five elementary schools, serving students from early learning through elementary grades. These schools are part of two different districts: Franklin Township Com School Corp and MSD Warren Township. While one school, Thompson Crossing Elementary School, demonstrates strong academic performance, the other elementary schools in the area appear to be facing significant challenges.
A notable performance disparity exists within zip code 46239. Thompson Crossing Elementary School consistently ranks well statewide and shows higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to district and state averages. In contrast, Lowell Elementary School, Grassy Creek Elementary School, and Liberty Park Elementary School, all part of MSD Warren Township, consistently receive low statewide ratings and exhibit lower academic proficiency. The Wanamaker Early Learning Center serves a unique Pre-Kindergarten population, making direct comparisons difficult, but it shows significantly lower spending per student and a very high student-teacher ratio.
An interesting finding is the uniform chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% across all five schools, suggesting a potential common factor affecting attendance. Socioeconomic factors, indicated by free/reduced lunch rates, show higher rates in the lower-performing MSD Warren Township schools compared to Thompson Crossing Elementary School. Spending per student varies, with Liberty Park Elementary School having the highest and Wanamaker Early Learning Center the lowest. The consistent chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is a critical area for further attention.
