Summary:
The 47637 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Tennyson Elementary School, which serves grades K-5. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, its academic performance has been a concern, with declining proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math that lag behind the Warrick County School Corporation and Indiana state averages.
Tennyson Elementary School stands out for its lack of racial diversity, with a 100% White student population, and its high percentage of students (68.12%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges among the student body. The school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math are higher than the district and state averages, but the 5th-grade proficiency rates are significantly lower, particularly in ELA, where only 20% of students are proficient compared to 61.41% for the district and 40.3% for the state.
Despite the school's higher resource allocation, with a low student-teacher ratio and above-average per-student spending, the academic performance concerns suggest the need for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the school's challenges and the implementation of targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 47637 zip code area.
