Summary:
The 8 elementary schools located in the 46360 zip code area of Michigan City, Indiana serve students from diverse backgrounds, with varying levels of academic performance. While the overall district is ranked 275 out of 381 in the state, a few standout schools, such as Knapp Elementary School and Springfield Elementary School, are outperforming their peers and the district average.
The data reveals significant disparities in student performance across the schools, with Knapp and Springfield leading the way in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, while other schools like Lake Hills Elementary and Edgewood Elementary struggle to meet state and district benchmarks. Additionally, the district as a whole faces high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, with all schools serving a majority of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, the data suggests that there are opportunities for the Michigan City Area Schools district to learn from its highest-performing schools and implement best practices to raise the level of achievement across all its elementary schools. By addressing attendance issues and targeting resources to support economically disadvantaged students, the district can work to ensure that all children in the 46360 zip code area have access to a high-quality education.
