Summary:
ZIP code 47025, covering Lawrenceburg and the surrounding Dearborn County area in southeastern Indiana, is home to five public schools serving roughly 2,656 students: three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, split between the Lawrenceburg Community School Corp (four schools) and the Sunman-Dearborn Com School Corp (one school).
The strongest overall profile belongs to Bright Elementary School, which sits in the higher-ranked Sunman-Dearborn district (44 of 374, 88th percentile, 4 stars). Bright has the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate in the ZIP at 20.22%, very low chronic absenteeism at 5.5%, and test scores above state levels in several grades. Its scores often trail its own district averages, though, reflecting that Sunman-Dearborn is a high-performing district overall. Within Lawrenceburg, Central Elementary School is the standout: it outperforms its district in ELA and math and posts the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP at 5.3%, even with a 44.06% free/reduced-lunch rate. Its 4th-grade results are the main weak spot.
Greendale Middle School shows one of the most unusual contrasts in the data: Biology EOC proficiency of 86.11% and 77.27% in the last two years, far above district and state, alongside 8th-grade math at just 18.67% versus the state's 34.2%. Lawrenceburg High School graduates 98.8% of students—well above the state's 89.7%—and its SAT ELA is above state, but SAT Math is far below state and chronic absenteeism is 19.9%, about 1 in 5 students and the highest in the ZIP. Lawrenceburg Primary School, a PK–2 school, has no test scores; its absenteeism is 10.2%. Across the ZIP, math is the most consistent weakness for the Lawrenceburg schools, while Bright is the main exception.
