Summary:
ZIP code 46372, covering Roselawn, Indiana, contains exactly one public school: Lincoln Elementary School, an elementary school serving grades K–6 with 244 students in the North Newton School Corp district. Because it is the only school in the ZIP, there are no local side-by-side comparisons — the useful benchmarks are the district and the state. The district ranks 220th of 374 in Indiana, in the 41st percentile with 2 stars. Lincoln reports 64.34% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, per-pupil spending of $12,028, and a 14.3:1 student-teacher ratio.
Lincoln's results are mixed rather than uniformly low. Third grade math is the strongest single result at 54.55% proficient, above both the district's 48.10% and the state's 51.90%, and sixth grade ELA at 44.44% is above the state's 41.30%, though below the district's 48.98%. Math across all grades (34.65%) also beats the district (30.98%). The concerns are concentrated in other areas: ELA all grades is 30.71% versus 33.26% district, science all grades is 36.54% versus 41.54% district, and fifth grade is the weakest year overall — 28.57% in ELA, 21.43% in math, and 28.57% in social studies, against state marks of 42.20%, 42.00%, and 47.20%. Fourth grade math (32.35% vs. 52.00% state) also trails significantly.
Two patterns deserve attention. First, the school's statewide rank slipped from 448th of 1,011 — 56th percentile, 3 stars — in 2023–2024 to about 677th of 1,005 — 33rd percentile, 2 stars — in 2024–2025, holding near that level in 2025–2026. Second, science improved from 32.53% to 36.54% year over year, and fifth grade social studies rose from 20% to 28.57%, but the district improved faster in science, so the school moved from above to below district. Chronic absenteeism is 21.4%, above the district's 18.5% and the state's 16.7% — roughly 1 in 5 students. With only 244 students, single-grade percentages can swing widely, so all-grade and multi-year trends are the more reliable guide.
