Summary:
ZIP code 47714 in Evansville, Indiana is served by eight public schools — five elementary, two middle, and one alternative PK–12 campus — all belonging to a single district, Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. Together they enroll 3,908 students. There is no traditional high school in the ZIP; secondary students are served by Benjamin Bosse High School, which carries the area's graduation and SAT results. The district itself ranks 258th of 374 Indiana districts, so every comparison below is against an already below-median benchmark.
Two schools stand out. Harper Elementary School posted the strongest elementary results in 2024–25 — ELA 39.19% and Math 43.92% — and holds the ZIP's best rank percentile, though those figures slipped roughly 5 to 8 points the following year. Hebron Elementary School made the biggest improvement, with science climbing from 17.54% to 33.71%, and it beats the district in math and science while having the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (45.18%) and the lowest per-student spending ($11,776). Fairlawn Elementary School has the best attendance in the group — 15.6% chronic absenteeism, better than the state — but proficiency there remains low.
Six schools sit well below district averages. Lodge Community School and McGary Middle School are at the very bottom of the statewide distribution, with 2025–26 all-grades math at 8.65% and 4.18%. Benjamin Bosse High School graduates 84.6% of its students but carries the ZIP's highest chronic absenteeism (40.6%). Notably, spending and class size do not track achievement here: the two highest spenders are the lowest performers, and the smallest classes accompany the weakest math. Poverty levels line up more closely with results.
