Schools in Zip Code 46615

Zip code 46615 in South Bend, Indiana contains three schools — one high school and two elementary schools, including one serving grades K–8 — all part of the South Bend Community School Corp, a district ranked 320 of 374 in Indiana (14th percentile, 1 star).

Adams High School is the clear standout. It enrolls 1,966 students in grades 9–12 and ranks 230 of 415 (45th percentile, 2 stars) — roughly 31 percentile points above its own district. Its graduation rate is 89.6%, essentially matching the state's 89.7% and 7.1 points above the district's 82.5%. Adams beats the district in every reported subject: Biology 39.42% vs 25.52%, SAT ERW 43% vs 33.75%, and SAT Math 20.75% vs 12.12%. Still, it trails state averages in SAT ERW (43% vs 51.9%) and SAT Math (20.75% vs 25.6%). Chronic absenteeism is 33.8%, better than the district's 40.3% but twice the state's 16.7%.

The two elementaries are the bigger concern. Edison Middle School (551 students, K–8, listed as Elementary) ranks 944 of 1,015 (7th percentile, 0 stars) and Nuner Fine Arts Academy (489 students, PK–5) ranks 966 of 1,015 (5th percentile, 0 stars). Both score below the already-low district in all-grade ELA, Math, and Science. Nuner has the zip's highest absenteeism at 42.6% and declined in every reported all-grade subject, while Edison's absenteeism is the lowest here at 31.0% — still about 1.9 times the state rate. Notably, Edison spends the most per student ($18,228) with the smallest classes (10.3 ratio), yet ranks lowest on outcomes, while Adams spends the least ($12,765).
