Summary:
ZIP code 47043 covers Vevay in Switzerland County, Indiana, where three public schools serve about 1,099 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: Jefferson-Craig Elementary School (PK–6, 425 students), Switzerland County Middle School (7–8, 215 students), and Switzerland County Senior High School (9–12, 459 students). All three are part of Switzerland County School Corp, which ranks 262nd out of 374 Indiana districts — the 30th percentile, with 2 stars.
Switzerland County Middle School is the academic bright spot. It has the highest 2025–26 rank percentile of the three (49, versus 33 for the elementary and 24 for the high school), the strongest ELA results (42.65% proficient across all grades, above the district's 33.33%, with 7th-grade ELA at 50% versus the state's 41.7%), the lowest student-teacher ratio (13), and the highest per-student spending ($12,115). Even so, its rank has slipped from the 61st percentile and 3 stars two years ago to 49th percentile and 2 stars, and its math scores remain below district and state levels.
The clearest shared weakness is math. The high school's SAT math proficiency is 7.08% versus the state's 25.6%, down from 13.08% the prior year. The middle school's all-grade math is 22.55% versus the district's 26.14%. The elementary school's math fell from 34.25% to 23.53% year over year, with 5th-grade math at just 14.29% against the state's 42%. Attendance divides sharply by level: the elementary has the best chronic absenteeism rate at 8.5%, roughly half the district's 16.5% and the state's 16.7%, while the middle sits at 19.4% and the high school at 24.1%. The high school earns only 1 star but graduates 89.4% of students, essentially matching the state's 89.7%. Free/reduced lunch is similar across all three (50.33%–54.88%), while spending ranges from $9,869 per student at the elementary to $12,115 at the middle school.
