Summary:

ZIP code 47804 in Terre Haute, Indiana contains three public schools — two elementary schools and one high school — all part of Vigo County School Corp, serving a combined 2,158 students with no middle school inside the ZIP, so students in grades 6–8 travel elsewhere. The district as a whole ranks 270 of 374 statewide (28th percentile, 1 star), which sets a low bar for the schools within it.

Terre Haute North Vigo High School is the strongest of the three, ranking 235 of 415 (43rd percentile, 2 stars) and improving over the last two cycles. Its 11th-grade SAT reading and writing proficiency of 51.25% is above the district (46.25%) and essentially matches the state (51.9%), though math (20.64%) trails the state (25.6%). It also carries the area's biggest warning signs: chronic absenteeism of 42.6% and an 80.7% graduation rate versus 89.7% statewide. Ouabache Elementary School is the lowest-ranked school in the ZIP at 912 of 1,015 (10th percentile), down from the 18th percentile, with 5th-grade math proficiency of just 9.26% and all-grades ELA of 13.04%. Deming Early Learning Center reports no test scores at all, and its last ranking is from 2020–2021, so its current academic standing is unknown.

For parents, several patterns stand out. Every school here exceeds the district's 27.4% chronic absenteeism rate and sits far above the state's 16.7%, making attendance the ZIP's shared weakness. The schools' subject gaps run opposite directions: reading is relatively strong at the high school while math lags, and math and science outscore ELA at Ouabache, where literacy is the core problem. Poverty load and results track together — Ouabache has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (80.33%) and weakest outcomes, the high school the lowest (54.71%) and strongest. Spending does not predict performance: Deming spends the most per student ($11,591) yet reports no achievement data, while Ouabache spends the least ($10,063) and posts the lowest proficiency. Grade-level results at Ouabache are also uneven, with 4th-grade math (30%) far ahead of 5th grade.
