Summary:

Zip code 46992, in the Wabash, Indiana area, has 8 schools—5 elementary and 3 junior-senior high schools—serving PK through grade 12 across two districts: MSD Wabash County Schools (6 schools, about 80% of enrollment, 66th percentile, 3 stars) and Wabash City Schools (2 schools, about 20%, 29th percentile, 1 star). Total enrollment is 2,817. There are no standalone middle or alternative schools, so middle grades are inside the junior-senior high records. Two schools—Metro North Elementary School (PK–2) and LH Carpenter Early Learning Center (PK–K)—do not serve tested grades.

Among elementary schools, Southwood Elementary School stands out with 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency of 52.66% ELA, 62.9% Math, and 58.82% Science, plus 12.7% chronic absenteeism, below the state’s 16.7%. Sharp Creek Elementary School has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP code at 6.4%, with all-grade Math at 54.18%. At the high-school level, Southwood Junior-Senior High School is the highest ranked here (64 of 415, 85th percentile, 4 stars), with a 98.2% graduation rate and 76.27% Biology EOC, though SAT Math is 22.58%. Northfield Junior-Senior High School has a 100.0% graduation rate and stronger SAT Math at 30%, but lower ILEARN ELA and Math. White's Junior-Senior High School is the clearest low outlier: 395 of 415, 5th percentile, 0 stars, 74.7% graduation, 59.8% chronic absenteeism, and reported 0% in all-grade ELA/Math.

O J Neighbours Elementary School has low test scores and a 1-star district rating, but its 14.0% chronic absenteeism is below both its district and state, and it has the highest per-student spending at $10,780. Metro North Elementary School has low absenteeism at 9.5%, while LH Carpenter Early Learning Center has 19.5% absenteeism and a student-teacher ratio of 27. Across the area, spending is not a simple predictor of outcomes: the lowest-spending school ($7,113) has the weakest results, while the highest-spending school still has low test scores. Data gaps for these two schools mean missing test scores and old or no rank history should be treated as “not applicable,” not as poor performance.
