Summary:
The 46952 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Marion Community Schools district. While the schools serve a diverse student population with high rates of economic disadvantage, there are notable differences in their academic performance and other key metrics.
Among the standout schools, Riverview Elementary School ranks the highest in the area, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the other schools and the district average. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate and spends the second-highest amount per student. In contrast, the middle school, Justice Thurgood Marshall Intermediate, performs better than the district average in both subjects but still lags behind state-level performance.
Overall, the data reveals stark differences in academic achievement among the schools, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the disparities. Additionally, the high rates of economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism across the schools highlight the need for a district-wide approach to addressing the educational needs of the community and ensuring equitable access to resources and support for all students.
