Summary:
The 47715 zip code area in Evansville, Indiana is home to 4 schools that are part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp district, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a high-need population, with the majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, there are significant disparities in academic performance across the schools.
Caze Elementary School stands out as the lowest-performing school, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science that are significantly below the district and state averages. In contrast, Plaza Park International Prep Academy middle school has relatively stronger performance, though still below state levels. At the high school level, William Henry Harrison High School has lower proficiency rates than the district and state in key subjects like ILEARN/Biology and SAT/Mathematics.
Across the schools, chronic absenteeism rates are consistently high at 17.8%, which may be a contributing factor to the performance gaps observed. While funding and resources appear to be relatively consistent, with spending per student ranging from $11,357 to $12,755 and student-teacher ratios between 13.3 and 16.8, the data suggests that students in the 47715 zip code area are not receiving equitable educational opportunities compared to their peers across Indiana.
