Summary:
ZIP code 47037 in Osgood, Indiana is served by two public schools in the Jac-Cen-Del Community School Corp district: Jac-Cen-Del Elementary School (grades PK–6, 421 students) and Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School (grades 7–12, 360 students), totaling 781 students. There is no alternative school, and grades 7–8 are combined with the high school. The district is rated 2 stars at the 42nd percentile statewide, and the two schools have similar profiles: free/reduced lunch of 52.26% and 49.17%, student-teacher ratios of 14.5 and 13.8, and per-student spending of $12,367 and $11,197.
Jac-Cen-Del Elementary School's standout strengths are attendance and early-grade achievement. Chronic absenteeism is 8.5%, well below the district's 10.5% and roughly half the state's 16.7%. In 3rd grade, 53.57% of students met ELA standards (state: 40.8%) and 63.64% met math standards (state: 51.9%). Those early gains do not persist, however: 4th grade ELA is 25% versus 42.2% state and 6th grade ELA is 18% versus 41.3% state. The school's rank also slipped from 3 stars and the 55th percentile in 2024–2025 to 2 stars and the 39th percentile in 2025–2026, with all-grade math falling from 48.53% to 39.9% and science from 48.48% to 27.27%.
Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School pairs a strong graduation rate with weak college readiness. It graduates 97.7% of students versus 89.7% statewide, but SAT proficiency is far below state levels: 31.25% in Evidence-based Reading and Writing (state: 51.9%) and 10.94% in Math (state: 25.6%). Its chronic absenteeism is 12.7%, better than the state but above the district. Middle-grade results are more encouraging, with 8th grade ELA at 51.11% versus 44% state and 8th grade math at 48.89% versus 34.2%. Still, the school has held 1 star for three years and sits at the 27th percentile.
