Summary:
ZIP code 46710 covers Avilla, a small community in Noble County, Indiana, and contains just one public elementary school: Avilla Elementary School, a PK–5 building with 422 students in the East Noble School Corporation. Because there is only one school here, there is nothing to compare within the ZIP — the useful comparisons are Avilla against its district, against the state, and against its own past results.
The strongest number for Avilla is chronic absenteeism: 6.9%, which is lower than the district's 9.4% and less than half the state's 16.7%. That signals a well-engaged school community. Academically, the school outperforms its own district on every all-grades measure in both years tested. Math proficiency is 46.15% versus the district's 37.4%, and science is 47.37% versus 40.18%. Fourth grade is a particular bright spot, beating the state in both math (56.14% vs. 52%) and science (47.37% vs. 43.8%). English Language Arts is the clear weak area: Avilla trails the state at every tested grade, including 5th grade at 32.89% against the state's 42.2%, and all-grades ELA fell 9.19 points in one year while math rose 2.30 and science jumped 7.37. Fifth grade is the cohort to watch, trailing the state in ELA, math, and social studies, while 4th grade outperforms it.
Context matters here. About 29.62% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, spending is $10,556 per pupil, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.8:1. Avilla ranks 527 of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 48th percentile — and its rating slipped from 3 stars to 2 stars, down from the 55th percentile the prior year. The district itself sits at the 43rd percentile, so Avilla is a strong performer inside a below-average district. With roughly 182 students tested, single-year swings reflect only a handful of students, so families should treat these results as directional rather than precise.
