Summary:
ZIP code 47110 is home to just one elementary school: Heth-Washington Elementary School, a PK–6 building with 162 students in Central, Indiana, serving families as part of South Harrison Com Schools. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, parents can look to its own trends and to district and state averages to judge how it is doing.
The school is clearly on the rise. It moved from 554th of 1011 schools in 2023–2024 to 425th of 1015 in 2025–2026, climbing from the 45th percentile with 2 stars to the 58th percentile with 3 stars. Science is the standout subject: all-grade proficiency jumped from 40.48% to 61.9%, beating the district's 46.94%, and 6th-grade Science reached 72.73%. Fifth-grade Social Studies is also strong at 63.64%. The 6th graders as a group scored above both district and state in ELA (63.64%), Math (59.09%), and Science (72.73%). Chronic absenteeism is 14.9%, better than the district's 18.9% and the state's 16.7%, even with 78.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
The concerns are concentrated in the early grades and in the core subjects. Third-grade ELA was only 8.7% proficient versus the district's 51.64% and the state's 40.8%, and third-grade Math was 21.74% versus 60.49% district and 51.9% state — the sharpest gaps in the profile. Overall, ELA (41.38%) and Math (35.63%) trail the district (51.89% and 45.05%), and Math slipped from 42.39% a year earlier. With only 162 students, grade-level percentages can swing widely, so these figures deserve context. The bottom line: a small, improving school with real strengths in Science and Social Studies and a healthy attendance rate, but a clear need to strengthen early-grade reading and math.
