The data reveals standout performance at Van Duyn Elementary School, which outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency.

Chronic absenteeism is a concern across all schools in the district, with a consistently high rate of 17.8%, which is higher than the state average. This issue may be impacting student learning and achievement and should be a priority for the district to address.

Overall, the data provides a comprehensive view of the schools in the 47842 zip code area, with Van Duyn Elementary standing out as a high-performing school and the district facing challenges in addressing chronic absenteeism and disparities in academic achievement across the different school levels. Targeted interventions and support for economically disadvantaged students may be necessary to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the district.
