Best Public Schools in Zip Code 46404

Summary:

The 46404 zip code in Indiana has only one school, Beveridge Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the Gary Community School Corp district and has consistently ranked in the bottom 1-2% of Indiana elementary schools over the past three years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beveridge Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages, with most grades scoring below 10% proficiency in ILEARN assessments for English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 4.14% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district average of 10.39% and the state average of around 40%. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 67.93% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,943 and a student-teacher ratio of 20.1, which is only slightly above the recommended level, Beveridge Elementary School continues to struggle academically. This suggests that simply increasing funding or reducing class sizes may not be enough to address the underlying issues at the school. A more comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and community engagement, may be necessary to improve student outcomes at Beveridge Elementary School.
