Summary:
ZIP code 47280 (Taylorsville, Indiana) contains exactly one public school — Taylorsville Elementary School — serving grades PK–6 with 580 students, which means families in this ZIP have no public school choice within their own boundary. The school belongs to Bartholomew Con School Corp, a district that ranks 162 of 374 statewide (57th percentile, 3 stars), while Taylorsville Elementary itself ranks 791 of 1,015 (22nd percentile, 1 star) for 2025-2026.
Academically, the school trails both its district and the state in every subject and grade measured. All-grade proficiency is 26.88% in English language arts (district 41.76), 26.88% in math (district 42.98), and 18.34% in science (district 38.17). Every one of the 11 grade-level results reported for 2025-2026 falls below the state benchmark as well. The weakest results appear in the upper grades: 6th-grade science (12.36%) and 6th-grade math (15.73%) are the lowest figures in the entire data set, roughly 25–29 points behind the state. Fifth grade is the relative bright spot, where ELA and social studies both reach 33.80% — the narrowest gaps anywhere in the file.
Chronic absenteeism is the one clear strength: 13.3% in 2024-2025, better than the district (15.9%) and the state (16.7%), which suggests that attendance is not the main driver of the lower test scores. Trends are mixed — ELA rose 4.55 points year over year and 5th-grade social studies jumped 16.02 points, while science fell 5.98 points and math was essentially flat (+0.15). Rank has stayed in the bottom quartile for two straight years after a stronger 2023-2024 (33rd percentile, 2 stars). About 62.76% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $13,067, and the student–teacher ratio is 16.4 — but only one year of each is available, so no trends can be established for those measures.
