Summary:
ZIP code 47373 is home to a single school in this dataset — Redkey Elementary School, a K–6 elementary school serving 326 students in the Jay School Corporation. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools listed for this ZIP code, so families with older students would need to look elsewhere in the district for those options.
Redkey Elementary's strongest differentiator is attendance: its 2024–2025 chronic absenteeism rate was 7.2%, compared with 19.0% for the district and 16.7% for the state — less than half of both. The school is also moving up in statewide standing, climbing from 602 of 1011 schools (40th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 503 of 1015 (50th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. In 2025–2026, 5th grade social studies proficiency was 55.26%, above the district's 47.95% and the state's 47.2%. Sixth grade ELA (47.62% vs district 45.75% and state 41.3%) and 6th grade science (42.86% vs district 41.98% and state 41.2%) also beat both. All-grades math (43.22%) and science (40.38%) were essentially level with the district (43.01% and 40.22%).
Results are mixed by grade and subject. The lowest 2025–2026 result was 4th grade ELA at 22.58%, well below the district's 33.05% and the state's 42.2%. Third grade ELA (33.33%) and 5th grade math (30.77%) also trailed both, and all-grades ELA was 35.59% versus the district's 39.8%. Year-over-year swings — such as math rising from 36.36% to 43.22% and science falling from 48.15% to 40.38% — involve different grade cohorts and should be read cautiously. Context figures — 37.73% free/reduced lunch, $10,489 per-student spending, and a 14.5:1 student-teacher ratio — have no district or state comparison in this record, so it is not possible to say whether they are high, low, or typical.
