Summary:
ZIP code 47224 is served by a single public school: Canaan Community Academy, an Elementary school in Canaan, Indiana, serving grades K–8 with 195 students. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools in this ZIP, so this is the only public option represented in the data. The school is also its own district — Canaan Community Academy — meaning district-level results essentially mirror school-level results. The school ranks 279th of 374 districts (25th percentile, 1 star), and it has a 13:1 student-teacher ratio.
The clearest positive trend is in the school's ranking. Canaan Community Academy moved from the 8th percentile with 0 stars in 2023–24, to the 20th percentile with 1 star in 2024–25, to the 30th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26. It remains below the state median, but the direction is upward. Science is a relative bright spot: All Grades Science reached 42.42%, up 4.18 points year over year, with 4th-grade Science at 44.44% (slightly above the state's 43.8%) and 6th-grade Science at 40% (near the state's 41.2%). Fifth-grade Social Studies stands out at 53.85%, above the state's 47.2%, after a reported 4.35% the prior year — though that comparison involves different student cohorts. Fourth-grade Math, at 50%, is also close to the state's 52%.
The main concerns are ELA and Math proficiency, which are both 20.25% at the All Grades level in 2025–26. Grade-level ELA is consistently below state, and Math is far below in 5th grade (7.69% vs. 42%) and 6th grade (6.67% vs. 40.2%). The state suppressed school-level 7th- and 8th-grade ELA and Math results, so those figures are unknown, not zero. Chronic absenteeism is 39.2%, more than double the state's 16.7%, which is a serious engagement concern — especially notable given a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 19.49%. Per-student spending is $9,959, and average class sizes appear relatively small.
