Schools in Zip Code 47465

ZIP code 47465 contains exactly one school: White River Valley High School, a grades 9–12 high school with 208 students at 5644 W Sr 54 in Switz City, part of the White River Valley School District. The area has no elementary, middle, or alternative schools, so families here attend this single high school, and there is no within-ZIP school comparison to make.

The school's strengths are mostly in outcomes and resources. Its graduation rate was 90.9% in 2024–2025, above Indiana's 89.7%, and its student-teacher ratio of 10.1 is low in absolute terms. Per-student spending was $16,311 in 2023–2024, and 49.52% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025. In 2024–2025, 52.63% of students were proficient in Biology on ILEARN, above the state's 45.6%. However, its latest state ranking is 304 out of 415 schools (27th percentile) with 1 star in 2025–2026, down from 2 stars in each of the two prior years.

Academic concerns center on college-readiness tests and attendance. SAT Math proficiency was 12% in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, versus state rates of 25.4% and 25.6%. SAT Reading/Writing fell from 48% to 40%, while the state stayed at 51.9%, widening the gap from 6.5 points to 11.9 points below. Biology dropped sharply, from 52.63% to 25.49%, although no state figure is shown for 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism was 17.5%, above the district's 15.1% and the state's 16.7%. With only 208 students, year-to-year swings can be amplified by small cohort sizes, so Math proficiency, Reading/Writing, attendance, and whether the Biology decline continues are the key areas to watch.
