Summary:
There are seven elementary schools serving zip code 47401, all part of the Monroe County Community School Corp except for The Bloomington Project School, a public charter school. These schools serve students from kindergarten through fifth grade, with the Early Learning Center focusing on pre-kindergarten. The area is served by a mix of traditional public schools and a charter option, offering parents a choice in their child's education.
Childs Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the 47401 zip code, consistently achieving high statewide rankings and significantly exceeding district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. In contrast, Templeton Elementary School shows the lowest academic performance among schools with available data, despite having the highest spending per student and the highest rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The Bloomington Project School, a charter school, performs above the district average in ELA but below in Math, and has the lowest spending per student in the zip code.
A notable observation across all seven schools is the identical chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting a potential district-wide trend or common influencing factors. Student-teacher ratios vary, with Rogers Elementary School and Templeton Elementary School having the lowest ratios, while the Early Learning Center has a very high ratio due to its specialized focus and small enrollment. Test score trends indicate a slight decrease in ELA proficiency for most schools, while Math proficiency shows mixed results, with Childs Elementary School maintaining high proficiency in both subjects.
