The 46970 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school.

However, the school has a respectable 88.8% four-year graduation rate.

Across the schools, chronic absenteeism rates vary, with Blair Pointe Upper Elementary and Elmwood Primary Learning Center having lower rates compared to Peru Junior/Senior High School. The differences in student demographics and resource allocation among the schools in the Peru Community Schools and Maconaquah School Corp districts suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 46970 zip code area.
