Summary:

ZIP code 46936 in Greentown, Indiana, is home to three schools — one elementary, one middle, and one high school — all operated by the single Eastern Howard School Corporation district, which enrolls roughly 1,603 students across PK–12 and ranks 95th of 374 Indiana districts (4 stars, 75th percentile). Eastern Elementary School serves PK–5 with 727 students, Eastern Middle School serves grades 6–8 with 379, and Eastern High School serves 9–12 with 497. Data coverage is unusually complete here: ranking history, test scores, absenteeism, free/reduced lunch, per-student spending, and staffing ratios are available for all three buildings, so families can compare them directly.

Eastern High School is the district's flagship, holding 4 stars in all three years and the highest rank percentile in the ZIP (77th in 2025-26), with a 98.1% graduation rate — 8.4 points above the state — plus strong reading and Biology results. Eastern Elementary School has the best attendance, with 7.4% chronic absenteeism, less than half the state's 16.7%, along with standout upper-grade math and the data set's highest single proficiency figure, 5th grade Social Studies at 62.4% versus 47.2% statewide. Eastern Middle School is mixed: 6th and 7th grade math beat the state, but it is the only building with a three-year decline in rank (72nd → 70th → 65th percentile).

The vulnerabilities are specific. Third grade math is 16.9 points below the state (34.96% vs 51.9%) — the largest gap here — and elementary math jumps roughly 25 points by 4th grade. Middle school math slides from 47.86% in 6th grade to 29.13% in 8th, below the state's 34.2%. SAT Math at the high school has stayed below state two years running (22.13% vs 25.6%), even as SAT reading rose to 59.02%. Absenteeism climbs with grade level (7.4% → 11.6% → 14.3%), though all three beat the state. Notably, Eastern Middle School has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (41.95%) but the lowest per-student spending ($7,540), while staffing ratios are nearly identical across all three.
