Summary:
Zip code 46552 is served by three public schools within the New Prairie United School Corp, covering elementary, middle, and high school grades. These schools collectively serve students from Kindergarten through 12th grade, with a notable consistency in chronic absenteeism rates across all three institutions.
Among the schools in zip code 46552, Olive Township Elementary School stands out for its exceptional performance, particularly in mathematics. This elementary school consistently achieves higher proficiency rates in math compared to both the district and the state averages. While New Prairie High School boasts a strong statewide ranking and graduation rate, it shows a lower proficiency in SAT Math than the state average. New Prairie Middle School generally performs in line with or slightly above district averages, but does not exhibit the same standout achievements as the elementary school in specific academic areas.
Several key findings emerge from the data. The consistent chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% across all three schools suggests a potential district-wide issue or shared community challenge. Olive Township Elementary School's superior math scores are a significant highlight, potentially linked to its higher per-student spending of $15,468, though this also correlates with a higher student-teacher ratio of 20.6. Conversely, New Prairie High School's lower SAT Math scores warrant attention. The free/reduced lunch rates are similar across all schools, indicating a comparable socioeconomic background for their student populations. Overall, the New Prairie United School Corp is well-regarded, with a strong district ranking and a 5-star rating, reflecting positively on the performance of its constituent schools.
