Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 47331

ZIP code 47331 covers Connersville, Indiana, where five elementary schools serve about 1,757 students in grades PK–6 or K–6, all within the Fayette County School Corporation. That district ranks 191st of 374 Indiana districts (49th percentile, 2 stars), but performance varies widely from school to school, so the district average hides a lot. Fayette Central Elementary is the clear standout, ranking 250th of 1,015 schools (75th percentile, 4 stars) — the only 4-star school in the group — and beating the district in ELA (45.21%), math (65.43%), and science (50.51%), with 4th grade math at 79.17% proficient. Grandview Elementary is the largest school at 530 students, ranking 510th (50th percentile, 3 stars), but its chronic absenteeism of 50.1% is a serious outlier — more than double the district's 24.7% and triple the state's 16.7%. Eastview Elementary ranks 581st (43rd percentile) yet posts strong 5th grade results: 60.71% in social studies, 57.14% in ELA, and 64.29% in math. Everton Elementary ranks 546th (46th percentile) and has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 10.2%. Frazee Elementary ranks lowest at 751st (26th percentile, 1 star) despite having the highest per-student spending at $12,570.

Comparing schools reveals a few useful patterns. Spending does not track with results: Frazee spends the most and performs the lowest, while Fayette Central spends $11,309 and performs highest. Attendance is also uneven — Everton and Fayette Central keep chronic absenteeism near 10%, while Grandview and Eastview are well above the state rate. Math improved at four of five schools from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, including a 17-point jump at Eastview, but ELA declined at four of five schools, with Fayette Central the only gainer.

The biggest shared weakness is 3rd grade ELA, where every school falls below the state's 40.8%: Fayette Central 31.91%, Frazee 29.79%, Grandview 22.73%, Eastview 20.75%, and Everton 9.68%. Grades served and enrollment also differ, from 266 students at Everton to 530 at Grandview, which means class sizes and student-teacher ratios (14.3 at Eastview to 19.8 at Grandview) vary noticeably across the area.
