Summary:
ZIP code 47396 covers Yorktown, Indiana, where all four public schools belong to one district, Yorktown Community Schools, which ranks 59th of 374 Indiana districts. Together they enroll 2,793 students in an unbroken K–12 pipeline: Pleasant View Elementary School (K–2, 618 students), Yorktown Elementary School (3–5, 649), Yorktown Middle School (6–8, 687), and Yorktown High School (9–12, 839). With no charter, private, or alternative schools in this listing, nearly every student moves through the same buildings into the same high school. Pleasant View has no test scores or ranking because Indiana testing begins in grade 3.
Yorktown High School is the strongest overall performer, ranked 63rd of 415 Indiana high schools (85th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025-26, with a 97.9% graduation rate against the state's 89.7%. Yorktown Elementary School ranks lower (350th of 1,015) yet posts the ZIP's best math: 61.56% overall, with 3rd-grade math at 70.41% versus 51.9% statewide and 5th-grade math at 58.60% versus 42%. Pleasant View Elementary School stands out operationally, with the lowest student-teacher ratio (16.3), the lowest chronic absenteeism among the elementaries (7.3%), and $10,447 in per-pupil spending.
Attendance is the area's most consistent strength: all four schools fall between 7.0% and 8.8% chronic absenteeism, well under Indiana's 16.7%. The clearest academic risk is elementary reading and writing, which slips from above state in 3rd grade to 3.1 points below state in 5th grade, along with 6th-grade science at 36.77% versus 41.2%. The middle school's eye-catching 96.55% biology proficiency reflects a small accelerated cohort rather than a school-wide result. Per-pupil spending ranges from $9,165 to $11,273 with no obvious link to outcomes, and rankings dipped in the most recent year at every ranked school except the elementary, so next year's data is worth watching.
