Summary:
ZIP code 47341 covers Fountain City, Indiana, and contains exactly three public schools — all part of the Northeastern Wayne Schools district — forming a complete PK–12 pipeline: Northeastern Elementary School (PK–5, 614 students), Northeastern Middle School (6–8, 297 students), and Northeastern High School (9–12, 426 students). The district ranks 211th of 374 Indiana districts, placing it near the middle of the state.
Each school has a distinct profile. The middle school is the strongest overall — the highest-ranked of the three at the 57th percentile with 3 stars, the best attendance in the group (5.5% chronic absenteeism), and the lowest per-student spending ($11,355) — but it has slipped each year, from the 69th to the 64th to the 57th percentile. The elementary school is a split picture: its 5th grade beats the state in ELA (56.82% vs 42.2%), math (54.55% vs 42.0%), and social studies, while its 3rd and 4th grade ELA sit far below state (20.93% and 25.77% against a state rate of roughly 41%). The high school holds the group's best and worst numbers at once: a 97.0% graduation rate against the state's 89.7%, alongside SAT math proficiency of just 8.05% versus 25.6% statewide.
For parents, the clearest shared strength is attendance — every school is far better than the state's 16.7% chronic absenteeism rate. The clearest shared concern is math, which looks like a relative strength in elementary school but falls below state at every middle school grade and drops sharply by high school. Rankings also moved down at all three schools in 2025-26, and higher spending does not line up with higher rankings here. Science scores fell at both the elementary and middle levels, but district science fell almost identically, suggesting an assessment shift rather than a school-specific problem.
