Summary:

ZIP code 46902 in Kokomo, Indiana, contains three elementary schools serving grades PK–5 and about 1,021 students: Taylor Elementary School (PK–4, 494 students) in Taylor Community School Corp, plus Boulevard Elementary School (PK–5, 340) and Maple Crest STEM Elementary School (K–5, 187) in Kokomo School Corporation. Outcomes vary widely: Maple Crest is the strongest by nearly every measure, Taylor has the lowest outcomes and highest need indicators, and Boulevard sits in the middle.

Maple Crest is the clear standout: 2025-26 rank 301/1,015, 70th percentile, 4 stars; all-grade ELA 50%, Math 55.56%, Science 51.28%; chronic absenteeism 10.7% (below the state’s 16.7%); free/reduced lunch 48.66%; student-teacher ratio 11.0; and per-student spending $9,886. It far exceeds Kokomo district averages (ELA 50% vs 24.53%, Math 55.56% vs 25.12%, Science 51.28% vs 29.07%) and beats the state in every reported 2025-26 grade-level test except 5th grade ELA (41.67% vs 42.2%). Taylor, by contrast, ranks 882/1,015, 13th percentile, 1 star; all-grade ELA 14.53%, Math 27.37%, Science 23.26%; chronic absenteeism 24.5%; free/reduced lunch 63.77%; ratio 17.4; enrollment 494. Its 3rd grade ELA was 13.98% vs 40.8% state, and 4th grade Math 30.23% vs 52% state, though its all-grade Math was above the district’s 18.44%.

Boulevard is mixed: 2025-26 rank 706/1,015, 30th percentile, 2 stars; all-grade ELA and Math both 30.67%, Science 31.25%; chronic absenteeism 18.8%, above the state but below Kokomo’s 29.1%; free/reduced lunch 53.24%; ratio 15.4; and the highest per-student spending at $11,618. Its 4th grade ELA was 45.83%, above the state’s 42.2%, but Math fell from 40.82% in 2024-25 to 30.67% in 2025-26, and its rank dropped from the 42nd to 30th percentile. All three schools declined in all-grade ELA, Math, and Science from 2024-25 to 2025-26; the largest drops were Maple Crest Science (66.67%→51.28%), Maple Crest ELA (60.53%→50.00%), and Boulevard Math (40.82%→30.67%). Poverty and absenteeism align with achievement here, but Maple Crest’s 48.66% free/reduced lunch rate shows its success is not simply a matter of serving an affluent population.
