Schools in Zip Code 46772

ZIP code 46772 in Monroe, Indiana contains three schools — Adams Central Elementary School (PK–5), Adams Central Middle School (6–8), and Adams Central High School (9–12) — all operated by Adams Central Community Schools on a single shared campus, together enrolling about 1,357 students. The district ranks 79 of 374 Indiana districts, a 4-star rating in the 79th percentile.

The middle school is the strongest of the three, ranked 57 of 486 Indiana middle schools (88th percentile, 4 stars). Its 8th grade math proficiency is 63.16% against a 34.2% state rate, and 6th and 7th grade math also beat the state. The high school ranks 126 of 415 (70th percentile, 4 stars) and posts a 98.9% graduation rate versus 89.7% statewide, though only 27.62% of 11th graders met the SAT math benchmark against 25.6% statewide, and SAT EBRW was 55.24% versus 51.9%. The elementary school is the only 3-star building, ranked 445 of 1,015 (56th percentile), with strong 3rd and 4th grade math but weak 5th grade results: ELA 30.68% versus 42.2% statewide and Social Studies 34.09% versus 47.2%.

Attendance is a district-wide strength: chronic absenteeism runs 3.0% to 6.5% across the three schools, compared with 16.7% statewide. Spending per student is similar across buildings ($10,493 to $11,326) and student-teacher ratios are nearly identical (13.5 to 13.6), as are free/reduced lunch rates (24.51% to 28.70%), so money and class size do not explain the academic differences. One pattern to watch: all three schools slipped in rank percentile over three years, and the most recent year was the weakest for each. The high school's SAT Math fell from 36.26% to 27.62% while the state held flat, and the elementary's 5th grade Social Studies dropped from 51.58% to 34.09%.
