Schools in Zip Code 46574

Zip code 46574 is served by three public schools in the John Glenn School Corporation — John Glenn High School (grades 9–12, 629 students), Walkerton Elementary School (PK–6, 589 students), and Harold C Urey Middle School (grades 7–8, 301 students) — together enrolling 1,519 students across the full PK–12 span, in a district ranked 60th of 374 Indiana districts, at the 84th percentile with 4 stars.

John Glenn High School is the strongest performer: its 2024–2025 graduation rate is 100.0% versus 89.7% statewide, and SAT proficiency runs well above state in both ELA (60.96% vs. 51.9%) and math (36.99% vs. 25.6%), with both improving year over year. Walkerton Elementary School is also a standout, beating district averages in all-grade ELA (58.92%), math (51.59%), and science (60.25%), and its 6th-grade ELA proficiency of 73.42% sits 32.1 points above the state — despite having the highest free/reduced lunch rate (61.29%) and the lowest per-student spending ($9,378).

Harold C Urey Middle School is the clear area of concern. Its all-grade math proficiency is 32.87%, far below the district's 46.85%, down from 41.02% the prior year, and both 7th-grade math (33.56%) and 8th-grade math (32.14%) trail the state. It also slipped from 4 stars and the 78th percentile to 3 stars and the 67th percentile. Chronic absenteeism is below the state's 16.7% at all three schools, though unevenly: Walkerton Elementary School has the lowest rate at 9.9% despite the highest poverty, while the middle school has the highest at 14.2%. Overall, the zip code pairs a very strong high school and a high-performing elementary school with a middle school that needs support, especially in math.
