Summary:
ZIP code 47714 in Evansville is home to five elementary schools — Hebron Elementary School, Harper Elementary School, Fairlawn Elementary School, Dexter Elementary School and Lodge Community School — all part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp, a district ranked 258th of 374 in Indiana. Four serve PK– or K–5; Lodge is the only K–8 building. Together they enroll 2,414 students, with Hebron the largest at 726 and Dexter the smallest at 384.
Two schools stand out. Hebron Elementary School has the best rank in the group (641 of 1,015, 37th percentile) and is the only school that improved its rank in each of the last three years. It leads in Math (40.47%) and is the only school here with a grade-level result above the state average (5th Grade Math). Harper Elementary School is the most consistent, holding 2 stars all three years, and leads the group in ELA (33.71%) and Science (34.04%). Its rank has slipped, though, and its Math and ELA both fell year over year.
The other three schools sit in the bottom 10% of Indiana elementaries and are rated 0 stars. Lodge Community School ranks lowest (982 of 1,015, bottom ~3%) with the lowest proficiency in every subject, the highest absenteeism (25.7%) and the highest poverty rate (63.53%). Dexter Elementary School has declined three years running, while Fairlawn Elementary School has the group's best attendance (15.6% chronic absenteeism, better than the state) yet still ranks in the 8th percentile. Notably, spending and class size do not explain the gap: Lodge spends the most per student ($14,407) with the weakest results, while Hebron spends the least ($11,776) with the strongest.
