Summary:

ZIP 47834 covers Brazil, Indiana, and contains 8 public schools — 6 elementary, 1 middle and 1 high school serving roughly 3,244 students — all part of the Clay Community Schools district, which ranks 97th of 374 Indiana districts with a 4-star rating.

The district's strongest school is Staunton Elementary School, which has earned 5 stars for three straight years, ranks in the 90th percentile of Indiana elementaries, and posts 65.78% ELA and 72.04% math proficiency with just 8.3% chronic absenteeism — all while spending the least per student ($8,848) in the ZIP. North Clay Middle School is the top secondary option at 4 stars and the 76th percentile, though its math proficiency (36.30%) lags the district. Among elementaries, East Side Elementary School (71.43% math) and Van Buren Elementary School (63.16% math) are math standouts, while Jackson Township Elementary School has the ZIP's lowest absenteeism (5.4%) and highest elementary science proficiency (65.79%).

Two schools need attention. Forest Park Elementary School ranks in the 30th percentile with the highest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP at 24.5% and the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 62.93%, yet has the smallest classes and relatively high spending — resources alone aren't turning results around. Northview High School sits in the bottom third of Indiana high schools with SAT ERW at 40.78% and SAT Math at 17.32%, but its 91.1% graduation rate exceeds both district and state averages. Overall, this ZIP offers a strong elementary core and a solid middle school, with the high school transition as the clearest area to watch.
