Summary:

ZIP code 46725 covers seven schools serving the Columbia City area of Whitley County, Indiana, all within the Whitley County Con Schools district: four elementary schools (Little Turtle, Northern Heights, Mary Raber, and Coesse), one middle school, one high school, and one small alternative school, together enrolling roughly 3,686 students.

Elementary results vary widely. Northern Heights Elementary School has the ZIP's strongest elementary math (55.64% across all grades, with 3rd grade at 66.67% and 5th grade at 59.77%) and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 2.7%. Coesse School leads elementary English language arts at 50.70% and science at 46.67% even though it has the highest free/reduced lunch rate in the ZIP at 48.45%. Mary Raber Elementary School trails the rest — 33rd percentile, with ELA at 36.63%, math at 32.67%, and science at 30.00% — despite the highest per-student spending, $11,540.

At the secondary level, Indian Springs Middle School climbed from the 48th to the 66th percentile and beats the state in all three tested ELA grades, but its math (33.33%) is below the district's 40.68%. Columbia City High School graduates 94.9% of students versus the state's 89.7% and beats the state in SAT reading (53.99%), while SAT math (23.19%) falls short. Every reporting school in the ZIP is below the state's 16.7% chronic absenteeism rate, though 5th grade social studies is a weak spot across all four elementaries. Eagleview Online has only 12 students and no school-level test results, so it cannot be meaningfully compared.
