Summary:

Zip code 47586 is home to one elementary school, William Tell Elementary School, serving students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade. This school is part of the Tell City-Troy Township School Corp and is situated in an area where over half of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

William Tell Elementary School demonstrates a mixed academic performance profile. The school has shown strengths in 4th-grade math, with proficiency rates exceeding the Indiana average in both 2023-2024 and projected for 2024-2025. Similarly, 4th-grade science proficiency is notably above the state average. However, the school's statewide ranking has seen a slight decline in recent years, moving from 440 out of 1016 schools in 2020-2021 to 519 out of 1016 in 2022-2023. A significant concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024, which can negatively impact student learning.

In terms of specific subject performance, William Tell Elementary School generally performs at or above the district average in math, particularly in the 4th grade. However, proficiency in math for 5th and 6th grades is considerably lower than the state average, especially in the 2024-2025 projections. English Language Arts proficiency shows some grade-level variations, with 3rd and 6th grades performing above the state average in 2023-2024, while 5th grade was slightly below. The school's spending per student is $9,957, which suggests adequate resources are available, though a comparison to state and district averages would provide further context.
