Summary:

ZIP code 47170 in Scottsburg, Indiana has three elementary schools — Scottsburg Elementary School (PK–5, 493 students), Vienna-Finley Elementary School (K–5, 391 students), and Johnson Elementary School (PK–5, 219 students) — all part of Scott County School District 2, serving about 1,100 students combined.

Johnson Elementary School is the academic standout: the highest English/language arts (52.73%) and math (61.47%) proficiency of the three, a 74th percentile state rank, the smallest classes (11.2 students per teacher), and the highest per-student spending ($12,886). Vienna-Finley Elementary School leads on attendance (13.9% chronic absenteeism, better than the state's 16.7%) and science (49.15%), while spending the least ($10,001). Scottsburg Elementary School, the largest school, has the highest chronic absenteeism (28.8%) and free/reduced lunch rate (70.18%) and the lowest overall proficiency, though its 5th grade is genuinely competitive — 50.65% in ELA and 53.25% in math, both above state averages.

What parents should take away: the differences between schools in this ZIP code are big — 3rd grade math runs from 27.87% at Scottsburg Elementary School to 79.41% at Johnson Elementary School, roughly the size of the entire state average. Poverty does not fully explain results, since Johnson serves a higher free/reduced-lunch population than Vienna-Finley yet outperforms it. Class size lines up exactly with performance order. Social studies improved at all three schools, the only subject with consistent momentum. Attendance is a district-wide concern (26.0%) concentrated at Scottsburg. Over three years, Vienna-Finley's rank has slipped, Scottsburg has stabilized, and Johnson has rebounded near its high.
