Summary:
The 47243 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Southwestern-Jefferson County Con school district. While Southwestern Elementary School stands out with strong academic performance, the middle and high schools in the district face challenges, particularly in math.
Southwestern Elementary School has the highest overall performance, with test scores exceeding district and state averages. However, the school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%. In contrast, Southwestern High School boasts an impressive 88.4% four-year graduation rate, but its math performance lags behind, with only 11.36% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Math. Meanwhile, Southwestern Middle School struggles the most, with significantly lower test scores in both English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state.
Across all three schools, there is a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.08% at Southwestern High School to 68.41% at Southwestern Elementary School, indicating a lower-income student population. Additionally, the chronic absenteeism rate is consistently high at 17.8% for all schools, which is an area of concern that the district needs to address.
