Summary:
Zip code 47130 has 7 schools—4 elementary, 2 middle, and 1 high school—all part of Greater Clark County Schools, serving about 5,959 students total. The district ranks 201 of 374 in Indiana (46th percentile, 2 stars). Within this ZIP, Utica Elementary School stands out as the only 4-star school (77th percentile), while Franklin Square Elementary School is the only 1-star school (13th percentile). Other schools include Jeffersonville High School, River Valley Middle School, Parkview Middle School, Riverside Elementary School, and Northaven Elementary School.
Utica Elementary’s proficiency is far above the district: ELA 53.15% vs. 37.53%, Math 64.34% vs. 38.86%, and Science 55.68% vs. 34.36%. Franklin Square’s is far below: ELA 15.74%, Math 22.34%, Science 24.00%. Northaven Elementary has a high FRPL rate (71.51%) and the highest per-student spending ($12,135), yet its Math proficiency (49.63%) exceeds the district, and its chronic absenteeism (11.5%) is low. Chronic absenteeism ranges from 8.8% at Utica to 50.1% at Jeffersonville High, where SAT Math proficiency is only 13.73% (state 25.6%) despite a 94.8% graduation rate (state 89.7%).
The gap between the highest and lowest performers in the same district is huge: Utica’s ELA is 37.4 points above Franklin Square’s, and Math is 42.0 points higher. Poverty (FRPL) aligns with outcomes but doesn’t fully determine them—Northaven shows high poverty with above-district math. Spending and student-teacher ratio don’t have a simple relationship with results. Middle school 8th grade is a weak point: River Valley’s 8th-grade Math is 22.97% vs. state 34.2%, and Parkview’s 8th-grade ELA is 23.22% vs. state 44%. Social Studies is very low at Riverside (17.14%) and Franklin Square (15.63%) vs. state 47.2%. Jeffersonville High graduates most students but has low SAT Math proficiency, a graduation-vs-proficiency split.
