Summary:
ZIP code 47529, covering Elnora, Indiana, contains just one elementary school: North Daviess Elementary School, a K–6 school of 621 students in the North Daviess Com Schools district. With a single school in the area, there is no cross-school comparison to make — the useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own three-year history.
North Daviess Elementary is improving and now ranks 306th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (70th percentile, 4 stars), up from the 61st percentile two years ago. It also outranks its own district, which sits at the 67th percentile with 3 stars. The standout strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism is 7.5%, less than half the state rate of 16.7% and below the district's 9.9%, even though 50.08% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Reading is solid in every grade — ELA proficiency is 52.06% school-wide, with each grade beating the state by 6.4 to 13.5 points — and science is excellent at 62.13% overall, including 6th grade at 65.48% versus 41.2% statewide. Every tested subject improved over the prior year, with science up 9.1 points and 5th-grade social studies up 13.6.
Math is the clear weak spot. All-grades math is 41.76%, and three of four grades trail the state: 6th grade by 2.1 points, 4th grade by 10.8, and 5th grade by 22.5 (19.51% proficient versus 42% statewide). Third-grade math is the opposite story — 66.29% proficient, the school's highest score in any subject or grade and 14.4 points above the state. Those grade-level figures come from four different cohorts tested in the same year, so they describe where the school currently stands rather than one group of students declining. The student–teacher ratio is 13.6 and per-student spending is $11,345.
