Summary:
ZIP code 46514 contains 11 schools — eight elementary, two middle, and one high school — all within Elkhart Community Schools, enrolling 7,838 students in the Elkhart area. The high school accounts for 3,073 of those students (39.2%), elementary schools enroll 3,633 (46.3%), and middle schools 1,132 (14.4%). The district ranks 317th of 374 Indiana districts, at the 15th percentile with 1 star, and no school in the ZIP earns more than 2 stars.
Mary Feeser Elementary School and Eastwood Elementary School are the strongest performers. Mary Feeser has the highest rank percentile in the ZIP (35), 2 stars, and the best all-grades ILEARN results among elementaries (ELA 28.86%, Math 39.70%, Science 32.05%) — while spending the least per student ($11,184). Eastwood ranks at the 32nd percentile with 2 stars, the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP (11.3%, below the state's 16.7%) and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (44.86%). At the middle level, West Side Middle School outperforms North Side Middle School in every reported ILEARN subject and grade, with lower absenteeism, despite spending less per student.
Beardsley Elementary School and Mary Daly Elementary School are the biggest concerns, both at 0 stars with rank percentiles of 3 and 4; Beardsley posts the ZIP's lowest ELA (6.10%) and science (6.67%) results and the highest free/reduced lunch rate (68.82%). North Side Middle trails the district in every reported ILEARN subject. Elkhart High School presents a paradox: its 91.3% graduation rate tops the state's 89.7%, but SAT EBRW (35.29% vs. 51.9%) and SAT Math (12.00% vs. 25.6%) are far below state averages, and chronic absenteeism is 39.4%, more than double the state rate. Absenteeism runs high across the ZIP; only Eastwood, Pinewood Elementary (12.2%), and Woodland Elementary (16.3%) fall below the state rate.
