Summary:

ZIP code 47620 covers Mount Vernon, Indiana, and its five public schools — three elementary schools (West, Marrs and Farmersville), one junior high and one high school — all part of MSD Mount Vernon, which ranks 67th of 374 Indiana districts (82nd percentile, 4 stars). Together they enroll 1,999 students: 923 in elementary (46.2%), 493 in junior high (24.7%) and 583 in high school (29.2%). There are no alternative schools in the ZIP, so every student here is served in a traditional elementary, junior high or high school setting.

Marrs Elementary School is the clear standout: it ranks 55th of 1,015 elementary schools (95th percentile, 5 stars) and has stayed at the 92nd–95th percentile for three straight years. Its all-grade proficiency is far above the district comparison in ELA (68.39 vs 51.57), math (75.48 vs 54.99) and science (68.52 vs 56.73), and its chronic absenteeism of 7.8% is the lowest in the ZIP. Mount Vernon Junior High School is the biggest improver, jumping from the 67th percentile to the 85th percentile (4 stars) with gains in ELA (37.58 to 50.44), math (42.68 to 50.98) and science (46.75 to 56.15).

Mount Vernon High School shows mixed signals: a 95.3% graduation rate (above the state's 89.7%) and SAT ELA of 54.55 (above the state's 51.9), but SAT math of 23.64 (below the state's 25.6), Biology falling from 46.54 to 41.67, and the ZIP's highest chronic absenteeism at 21.1%. West Elementary School serves the highest-need population (60.29% free/reduced lunch) with the lowest rank in the ZIP (59th percentile), while Farmersville Elementary School slipped from the 89th percentile to the 69th as ELA fell from 58.82 to 42.37.
