Summary:
ZIP code 47060 (West Harrison, Indiana) is served by a single school in this data set: North Dearborn Elementary School, a PK–5 elementary campus at 27650 Sawmill Road with 793 students. It belongs to Sunman-Dearborn Com School Corp, which ranks 44th of 374 Indiana districts (88th percentile, 4 stars). Because the ZIP has only one school, the useful comparisons are against the district and the state rather than against a neighboring school.
North Dearborn is one of the top-performing elementary schools in Indiana. In 2025-2026 it ranked 52nd of 1,015 schools — the 95th percentile — with a 5-star rating, its best placement in three years (63rd of 1,011 in 2023-2024, 115th of 1,005 in 2024-2025). Its proficiency beats the district in every tested subject: 67.98% in English Language Arts versus 51.10% district-wide, 72.17% in Math versus 56.01%, and 65.77% in Science versus 59.49%. Against the state, every reported grade-level subject is above average by roughly 17 to 35 points, with 3rd-grade ELA at 75.38% (34.6 points above the state's 40.8%) and 5th-grade Social Studies at 76.38% (29.2 points above). Growth was broad: all-grade ELA rose 8.38 points and Math 6.92 points year over year, while 5th-grade Social Studies jumped 15.14 points; only Science slipped, and only by 1.43 points, while still sitting about 22 points above the state.
Context for those results is favorable. Chronic absenteeism is 9.1%, well below the state's 16.7% and just above the district's 8.7%, and 22.07% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Per-student spending is $11,454 and the student-teacher ratio is 15.7. The clearest internal soft spot is 4th-grade ELA at 59.06% — still above district and state, but about 9 points below the school's own all-grade ELA figure. Math is the most consistent subject, exceeding 65% in every grade band.
