Best Public Schools in Zip Code 46919

ZIP code 46919 covers Converse, Indiana, and contains three public schools serving roughly 1,085 students combined, all within Oak Hill United School Corp: Converse Elementary School (PK–2), Oak Hill Junior High School (7–8), and Oak Hill High School (9–12). There are no alternative schools in the area. The district ranks 106th of 374 in Indiana — the 72nd percentile — with 4 stars.

Among the three, the junior high is the academic standout. It has held a 4-star rating for three straight years, with percentile ranks of 80, 82, and 79. Its 8th-grade results are especially strong: 58.33% proficient in ELA versus 44% statewide, and 55.83% in math versus 34.2% statewide. Its 7th-grade results are more mixed — ELA at 39.02% is slightly below the state's 41.7%, while math at 38.21% is slightly above 35.9%. The high school shows a different pattern: a 97.8% graduation rate, 8.1 points above the state's 89.7%, and reading scores above state in both reported years (61.98% vs. 54.5%, then 54.4% vs. 51.9%). But SAT Math is a clear concern at just 16% proficient in 2025–26 against the state's 25.6%, down from 19.01% the year before, and the school's rank has slipped from the 70th to the 53rd percentile, moving from 4 stars to 3. The elementary serves PK–2, so it has no state test rows in this data; its notable strength is chronic absenteeism of 8.2%.

Attendance is a shared bright spot: all three schools sit well below Indiana's 16.7% chronic absenteeism rate, at 9.5% (high school), 8.2% (elementary), and 8.8% (junior high), each only slightly above the district's 7.9%. Per-student spending is nearly identical across the schools, ranging from $11,667 to $11,756 — a spread under 1% — so outcomes aren't explained by big funding gaps. The junior high also has the smallest student-teacher ratio at 12.4, versus 14.9 at the high school. Overall, families here get a small, unified district with strong attendance and an excellent junior high; the high school's declining rank and low SAT math proficiency are the main areas to watch.
