Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 46404

Summary:

There is only one elementary school located in the 46404 zip code - Beveridge Elementary School, which serves grades K-5. The school serves a predominantly African American student population facing significant economic challenges, with 85.16% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Beveridge Elementary is a struggling school, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing in the state. With only 8.13% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 7.55% proficient in Math, the school's academic performance is well below state averages, particularly in the upper elementary grades. The school also faces high chronic absenteeism rates of 69.6%, further hindering student learning and achievement.

Despite spending $18,803 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, Beveridge Elementary continues to receive a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 996th out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools. This suggests the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to support the needs of its students and the surrounding Gary Community School Corp district. Addressing the root causes of the school's poor performance, such as chronic absenteeism and low proficiency rates, will be crucial in order to improve student outcomes and support the community it serves.
