Summary:
The 47227 zip code is home to a single standout elementary school, Graham Creek Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and has an enrollment of 260 students. The school is part of the Jennings County School Corporation, a district ranked 170 out of 380 in Indiana with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Graham Creek Elementary School outperforms the Jennings County School Corporation and the state of Indiana in several key academic areas, including English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across multiple grade levels. However, the school underperforms in 5th grade ELA, Math, and Social Studies compared to the district and state. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.6 is relatively low, suggesting a favorable learning environment, and it spends $12,400 per student, which is above the state average.
Despite the school's academic achievements, 63.08% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is a concern, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. The school may need to implement strategies to address this issue and support student attendance.
