Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47042

Summary:

The 47042 zip code in Indiana is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12: South Ripley Elementary School, South Ripley High School, and South Ripley Junior High School. These schools are part of the South Ripley Com School Corp district.

Based on the data, South Ripley Junior High School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 15% of Indiana middle schools over the past 3 years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, South Ripley High School appears to be underperforming, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of high schools statewide and only having a 1-star rating. The elementary school has mixed performance, with above-average math proficiency but below-average English language arts proficiency.

Across all 3 schools, there are some concerning trends, including high chronic absenteeism rates around 17-18%, low math proficiency at the high school level, and a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the schools do have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be leveraged to drive improved outcomes if the other challenges are addressed. Targeted interventions to improve attendance, academic performance, and support for economically disadvantaged students could help enhance the educational experience for students in this area.
