Summary:

There are five elementary schools serving zip code 47802, all part of the Vigo County School Corp. These schools serve students from kindergarten through fifth grade, with some offering additional programs. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of established neighborhoods and newer developments.

When considering elementary schools in the 47802 zip code, Dixie Bee Elementary School stands out as a top performer. It consistently ranks well statewide and shows the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across multiple grades. Hoosier Prairie Elementary School also demonstrates strong performance, particularly in 3rd-grade Math and 5th-grade Social Studies, and has a lower rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Farrington Grove Elementary School, despite having the highest spending per student, shows the lowest test scores and statewide rankings among its peers in the zip code.

A notable observation across all schools in this zip code is an identical chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting a potential district-wide trend. There's a clear correlation between lower rates of free/reduced lunch and higher academic performance, as seen with Dixie Bee and Hoosier Prairie. Conversely, schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Blanche E Fuqua Elementary School and Sugar Grove Elementary School, tend to have lower academic outcomes and statewide rankings. The Vigo County School Corp's overall performance appears to be below the state average, highlighting the success of individual schools like Dixie Bee and Hoosier Prairie, which may offer valuable strategies for broader implementation.
