Summary:
ZIP code 47122 is home to two public schools, both part of the New Albany-Floyd County Con School district: Highland Hills Middle School, serving grades 5–8 with 1,676 students, and Georgetown Elementary School, serving grades PK–4 with 659 students. Together they enroll 2,335 students and cover the entire PK–8 pipeline; there is no high school inside the ZIP, so students leave the area for grades 9–12. The district ranks 102 of 374 in Indiana, at the 73rd percentile with 4 stars.
Highland Hills Middle School is the standout. It is a 5-star school ranked 26 of 486 Indiana middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 95th percentile, or top 5% — and it has climbed steadily from 40th (92nd percentile) in 2023–2024. Its 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency beats the district in every subject: ELA 64.56% vs 51.72%, math 58.76% vs 50.05%, and science 61.07% vs 45.47%. Grade-level results are even stronger, including 5th-grade ELA at 69.4% vs the state's 42.2%, 6th-grade math at 65.94% vs 40.2%, and 5th-grade social studies at 75.06% vs 47.2% — the highest single result in this data. Chronic absenteeism is just 7.4%.
Georgetown Elementary School excels in math but is trending down in the rankings. Its all-grade math proficiency of 67.6% is actually higher than Highland Hills' 58.76%, and grade-level math is 13–17 points above the state (3rd grade 69.35% vs 51.9%; 4th grade 65.87% vs 52.0%). Its ELA, 55.2%, also beats the district's 51.72%. However, Georgetown has slipped from 67th (93rd percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–2024 to 220th (78th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026, with science at 44.44% after an 8.84-point drop. Both schools share one clear strength: chronic absenteeism of 7.4% and 7.8%, less than half the district and state rates near 16–17%. Georgetown also serves more low-income students (24.73% free/reduced lunch vs 19.09%) with higher per-student spending ($10,886 vs $10,091).
