Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47334

ZIP code 47334 covers Daleville, Indiana, a small community served by two public schools — Daleville Elementary School (grades K–6, 553 students) and Daleville Junior-Senior High School (grades 7–12, 435 students) — both part of Daleville Community Schools, which enrolls 988 students in total. There is no standalone middle school here; grades 7–8 are housed in the junior-senior high.

Daleville Junior-Senior High School is the standout, ranked 86 of 415 schools statewide (79th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 — a sharp jump from 3 stars the prior year. It beats the state in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing (55.71% vs 51.9%), SAT Math (32.86% vs 25.6%), 7th grade ELA (47.37% vs 41.7%), 8th grade ELA (46.15% vs 44%) and 7th grade Math (44.74% vs 35.9%), and its chronic absenteeism of 8.3% is far below the state's 16.7%. The one caveat: its 78.6% graduation rate sits 11.1 points below the state's 89.7%, so completion — not college readiness — is the concern.

Daleville Elementary School is more mixed: 2 stars, 44th percentile (572 of 1015). Its bright spot is 3rd grade Math at 80.95% proficient, far above the state's 51.9%, and all-grades Math (51.53%) beats the district. But ELA is the weakness at 27.91%, with 4th grade ELA at 22.09% (state 42.2%) and 6th grade ELA at 20.55% (state 41.3%). Absenteeism is a shared strength (9.8% elementary, still well under the state). Notably, the elementary has more students, more low-income students (58.41% vs 41.15% free/reduced lunch) and less money — $8,911 per student versus $11,351 — with a higher student-teacher ratio of 18.1 versus 14.7.
