Summary:
The 46319 zip code area in Indiana is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Beiriger Elementary School and Elsie Wadsworth Elementary School) and 1 junior/senior high school (Griffth Junior/Senior High School). The data reveals a mix of performance levels among these schools, with some standout performers and areas for improvement.
Beiriger Elementary School emerges as a strong performer, ranking 451 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in several ILEARN test subjects. In contrast, Griffth Junior/Senior High School struggles, with only 30% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, significantly below the state average. Elsie Wadsworth Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 334 out of 1,027 in 2017-2018 to 675 out of 1,031 in 2018-2019.
A common challenge across all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.25% to 57.58%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and improving attendance could be crucial in enhancing the overall performance of these schools within the Griffith Public Schools district.
