ZIP code 46582 in Warsaw, Indiana, contains two public elementary schools — Madison Elementary School and Harrison Elementary School — both serving grades K–6 within Warsaw Community Schools and together enrolling 891 students. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools in this ZIP, so families here move on to schools outside the immediate area after sixth grade.
Madison is the academic standout. It ranks 214th of 1,015 Indiana schools in 2025–2026 — the 79th percentile with 4 stars — after ranking 314th and 305th in the two prior years. All-grade ILEARN proficiency is 61.96% in ELA, 61.45% in Math, and 50% in Science, all well above the district.

Harrison's standout is attendance: chronic absenteeism of 5.1% is the lowest in the ZIP and well below the district's 9.7%. Its student-teacher ratio is slightly lower (13.7 vs 14) and per-student spending is comparable ($10,764 vs $10,659), yet academic results trail — it ranks 446th of 1,015, the 56th percentile with 3 stars, with ELA at 42.67% (below the district), Math at 47.35%, and Science at 35.77%. Harrison's bright spots are 4th grade Math (44.44%, the one grade-level subject where it beats Madison) and 6th grade Math at 44.93%. Harrison's free/reduced lunch rate is higher at 61.3% versus Madison's 48.42%, a difference that may relate to the achievement gap, though the data alone does not prove causation.
