Summary:
The 47041 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Sunman Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with 324 students. The school is part of the Sunman-Dearborn Community School Corporation, a district ranked 46 out of 380 in Indiana and with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Sunman Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN proficiency rates, is generally below the district and state averages, with a few exceptions. The school's 3rd grade students perform better than the district and state in both English Language Arts and Math, but overall proficiency rates in ELA and Math for all grades are lower than the district averages. The school also faces challenges with a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is relatively high. However, the school serves a student population with a significant proportion (30.86%) of free or reduced-price lunch recipients, and the school's per-student spending of $14,254 is higher than the state average, suggesting a commitment to providing resources and support for the students.
Despite the school's overall academic performance being below the district and state averages, Sunman Elementary School has some bright spots, particularly in the early elementary grades. The school's 3rd grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math are higher than the district and state, indicating potential strengths in the lower grades. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 1 could be a positive factor in terms of individualized attention and support for students.
