Summary:
ZIP code 46240 contains six schools serving prekindergarten through 12th grade: two elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and two alternative schools, with roughly 6,745 students enrolled in total. Four of the six — North Central High School, Northview Middle School, Clearwater Elementary School, and Nora Elementary School — belong to MSD Washington Township, ranked 159th of 374 Indiana districts (57th percentile, 3 stars). Enrollment is highly concentrated: North Central alone enrolls 3,682 students, about 54.6% of the ZIP total.
Clearwater Elementary School is the academic standout, ranking 152nd of 1,015 elementary schools (85th percentile, 4 stars). Its 2025–26 ILEARN proficiency leads the ZIP in English/language arts (56.35%), math (64.54%), science (59.52%), and 5th-grade social studies (61.24%), all well above district averages. It also has the ZIP's lowest chronic absenteeism (13.3%), lowest FRL rate (39.6%), the lowest per-student spending ($12,684), and the largest classes (19.2 students per teacher). Northview Middle School is the biggest improver, rising from 49th percentile/2 stars in 2023–24 to 71st percentile/4 stars in 2025–26, with Biology EOC results of 85.47% and strong 7th- and 8th-grade math, though absenteeism sits at 19.3%.
North Central High School is large and steady — 58th percentile, 3 stars, a 94.4% graduation rate above the state's 89.7% — but its SAT ERW (47.26%) and Biology EOC (37.7%) trail state and district figures. Nora Elementary School has climbed from the 31st to the 45th percentile yet remains at 2 stars, below district and state in ELA and science. IN Math & Science Academy - North and IN School for the Blind & Vis Imprd serve specialized, higher-need populations, with absenteeism of 33.4% and 38.6%, the ZIP's highest FRL rates, and much lower proficiency; their results should be read in light of their missions rather than compared directly with general education schools.
