Summary:
Zip code 47164 is home to a single public school — Morgan Elementary School, an elementary serving grades PK–5 with 442 students in Palmyra, part of the North Harrison Com School Corp district. Because it is the only school in the zip, there are no local schools to compare it against, and there are no middle, high, or alternative schools in 47164 — so families will need to look outside the zip once students finish fifth grade.
Academically, Morgan Elementary is a mixed but generally above-district performer. Math is its clearest strength: schoolwide math proficiency is 51.44%, more than 14 points above the district, and 4th grade math stands at 59.09% — above both district and state. Fifth grade social studies is another bright spot at 57.14%, well above district and state, and up more than 20 points from the prior year. Science sits essentially at the state average. English/language arts is the main concern: schoolwide ELA is 35.41%, only slightly above the district, and 4th grade ELA (31.34%) is more than 10 points below the state average. Attendance is a real positive, with chronic absenteeism at 8.4% — lower than the district's 10.9% and far below the state's 16.7%. About 51.81% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending is $10,265, with a student-teacher ratio of 18.4.
One trend worth watching: the school's state ranking has slipped from the 72nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 56th percentile in 2025–2026, dropping from 4 stars to 3 stars. Even so, it remains above the district's 51st percentile and above the state median, and it outperforms the district in every reported subject. Overall, this is a solid neighborhood elementary with strong math, standout social studies, and good attendance, but with ELA — especially in 4th grade — as an area to ask about.
