Best Public Schools in Zip Code 46571

ZIP code 46571 is served by three public schools covering the full K–12 pipeline, all within the Westview School Corporation — a high-performing Indiana district ranked 23rd of 374 statewide (94th percentile, 5 stars). The schools together enroll 1,250 students: Topeka Elementary School (K–4, 248 students), Westview Elementary School (5–6, 348 students), and Westview Junior-Senior High School (7–12, 654 students). No alternative school is listed in this area.

Each school stands out in a different way. Westview Elementary posts the strongest all-grade proficiency in the ZIP — 61.04% in ELA and 72.70% in math, both above the district — plus the lowest chronic absenteeism at 4.8% and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 29.89%. Westview Junior-Senior High reports a 100.0% graduation rate (state: 89.7%), consistently 5-star rankings in the top roughly 6–8% of Indiana high schools, SAT Math of 50.68% versus 25.6% statewide, and chronic absenteeism of 9.0%, about half the state rate. Topeka Elementary has the clearest upward trend, improving from 64th to 70th percentile and from 3 to 4 stars over three years, though its ELA and science results are the most uneven.

Across the ZIP, math is the clearest strength: every math comparison to the state is above average, including Westview Elementary's 5th-grade math at 78.81% (state: 42.0%). Science is the weakest area, especially in earlier grades — Topeka's 4th-grade science is 37.5% (state: 43.8%) and its all-grade science is 37.5% against the district's 49.19%, while Westview Elementary's all-grade science is 46.29%, also below the district. Absenteeism is low at all three schools compared with the state's 16.7%. Notably, poverty and spending do not track simply with outcomes: Topeka has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (43.55%) and highest per-student spending ($13,599) but lower ELA and science proficiency, while Westview Elementary has the lowest of both and the strongest results.
