Summary:

Zip code 46534 is home to one elementary school, Knox Community Elementary School, serving students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade. This school is part of the Knox Community School Corp.

Knox Community Elementary School has demonstrated consistent performance over the past three years, typically ranking between 429th and 495th out of over 1,000 elementary schools in Indiana, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Within its district, the school generally performs better than the Knox Community School Corp average, particularly in English Language Arts and Math for all grades. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency for all grades was 45.87%, compared to the district's 36.74%.

However, the school's performance against state averages shows a mixed picture. While it excels in 4th-grade ELA and Math, scoring above the state average in these areas, it falls below the state average in 3rd-grade ELA and Math. A notable concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is considered high and could impact student learning. The school also serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 65.72% qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The spending per student is $10,080, and the student-teacher ratio is 18.6.
