Summary:
The 46241 zip code area in Indiana is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, which are part of the MSD Wayne Township and MSD Decatur Township school districts. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools, with significant achievement gaps between them.
McClelland Elementary School stands out as the top-performing elementary school, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. In contrast, Maplewood Elementary School and Rhoades Elementary School have significantly lower proficiency rates, highlighting the need to address these achievement gaps. At the secondary level, Ben Davis University High School stands out with the highest SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing proficiency, as well as a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.4%.
Across the schools, high rates of chronic absenteeism (17.8%) and free/reduced lunch eligibility (ranging from 73.28% to 100%) suggest significant economic challenges facing the student population. The data also reveals variations in spending per student, from $11,079 at Lynwood Elementary to $16,719 at Damar Charter Academy, which may contribute to the disparities in student outcomes. Addressing these equity concerns and supporting the lowest-performing schools will be crucial for improving educational opportunities in the 46241 zip code area.
