Summary:
The 46637 zip code area in Indiana is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Clay International Academy and Darden Elementary School) and 1 high school (Clay High School). These schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 60.47% to 67.1%.
Academically, the schools in the 46637 zip code area are performing well below state and South Bend Community School Corp district averages on standardized tests. For example, in 2024-2025, Clay International Academy had only 21.81% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 22.21% for the district and 40.3% statewide. Math proficiency is especially low, with Clay International Academy at 12.18% proficient or better across all grades, compared to 18.82% for the district and 51.5% statewide for 3rd grade. Chronic absenteeism rates are also high, ranging from 17.8% to 17.8% in 2023-2024.
Without any clear high-performing schools in the area, families in the 46637 zip code may have limited options for quality education. The low test scores and high student needs suggest these schools may require additional resources, support, and interventions to improve student outcomes and provide equitable educational opportunities for the community.
