Summary:
ZIP code 46910 covers Akron, Indiana, and is home to three public schools serving grades K–12 — Akron Elementary School (K–5, 354 students), Tippecanoe Valley Middle School (6–8, 432 students), and Tippecanoe Valley High School (9–12, 568 students) — all in the Tippecanoe Valley School Corp district. Together they enroll 1,354 students. The district is ranked 164th of 374 districts, placing it in the 56th percentile with 3 stars. All three schools have high free/reduced-lunch rates, from 53.87% to 57.87%, and all three have chronic absenteeism below the state rate of 16.7%.
The secondary schools are on the upswing. The middle school's rank percentile climbed from 44th to 52nd to 59th, and its star rating went from 2 stars to 3 stars, with chronic absenteeism at 7.8%. Its Biology EOC proficiency is exceptionally high at 85.19% and 80%, far above the district (33.63% and 41.98%) and state (45.6%). It also spends the least per student ($9,904) with the lowest student-teacher ratio (13.2). The high school improved from 44th to 57th to 59th percentile and from 2 stars to 3 stars, and its graduation rate of 97.7% tops the state's 89.7%. SAT Math rose from 24.29% to 26.23%, above the state's 25.6%, while SAT ERW slipped from 56.43% to 50.82%, just below the state's 51.9%. Biology EOC improved from 17.44% to 33.02% but trails the district's 41.98%. Its absenteeism rate is 13.7%.
Akron Elementary School is the standout concern: its rank percentile fell from 54th to 42nd to 29th, and its star rating dropped from 3 stars to 2 stars to 1 star. All-grade ELA is 28%, math 33.71%, and science 31.25% — all below district averages of 39.71%, 39.58%, and 39.18% — and math fell sharply from 46.24%. Fifth-grade ELA (22.81%) and third- and fifth-grade math (31.48% and 24.56%) sit far below state levels. Despite the highest per-student spending of the three schools at $11,363, it has the weakest and fastest-declining outcomes, showing that spending does not track with results here.
