Summary:
ZIP code 46784 has one public school, Rome City Elementary School, an elementary school serving grades PK–5 with 183 students in the East Noble School Corporation. There are no middle schools, high schools, or alternative schools listed here. Because it is the only public school in the area, the most useful comparisons are to its district and to Indiana.
Rome City Elementary’s clearest strengths are attendance and 4th grade math. In 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 5.9%, compared with 9.4% for the district and 16.7% for the state, so fewer students missed school regularly than in the district or state. In 2025–2026, 68% of 4th graders were proficient in math, well above the district’s 48.9% and the state’s 52%. The school also had a 12.3:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and $12,786 per-student spending in 2023–2024, with 55.19% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch.
The main challenges are low overall ranking and uneven academic results. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 714 out of 1,015 Indiana schools, in the 30th percentile with a 1-star rating. ELA proficiency was 22.22% across all grades, below the district’s 32.71%; 3rd grade ELA was 16.22% and 5th grade ELA was 21.62%, both far below the state’s 40.8% and 42.2%. All-grade math was 39.39%, slightly above the district’s 37.4%, but 5th grade math was only 18.92%, compared with 32.48% in the district and 42% in the state. Science and social studies were also below district and state: 4th grade science was 33.33% versus 39.38% in the district and 43.8% in the state, while 5th grade social studies was 29.73% versus 39.78% in the district and 47.2% in the state. Year over year, all-grade ELA fell from 33.75% to 22.22%, while math rose from 29.49% to 39.39%. The school remains a bottom-third Indiana school, though its percentile improved from 23 to 30 over three years.
