Summary:

Zip code 47841 is home to one elementary school, Clay City Elementary School, which serves students from Kindergarten through 6th grade. This public school is part of the Clay Community Schools district.

Clay City Elementary School demonstrates strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics, where it consistently exceeds both district and state averages. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency was 78.33% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the district's 63.7% and the state's 52.4%. While English Language Arts (ELA) performance shows some fluctuations, the school generally meets or surpasses district averages in this subject. Science performance, however, tends to be below the district average in certain grades, though improvements were noted in 6th-grade science proficiency from 2024-2025. Social Studies performance also saw a notable increase, moving from below district and state averages in 2023-2024 to exceeding them in 2024-2025.

The school serves 382 students, with 51.83% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, indicating a significant portion of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Clay City Elementary School invests $10,286 per student, which is above the average, potentially contributing to its academic strengths. However, the student-teacher ratio of 19.5 is on the higher side. The school has shown a positive trend in statewide rankings, improving from 173rd out of 1020 Indiana elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 77th out of 1016 in 2022-2023, earning a 5-star rating. A notable concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024, which can impact student achievement.
