Summary:
ZIP code 47874 is served by a single elementary school, Rosedale Elementary School, a PK–6 campus in Rosedale, Indiana with 318 students, part of Southwest Parke Com School Corp (ranked 246th of 374 districts, 2 stars).
The school's standout strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism is just 3.7%, far below the district's 9.6% and the state's 16.7%. Math is the strongest core subject relative to the district, with all-grade proficiency at 46.78% versus 38.88% for the district. Fourth-grade math (57.5%) and sixth-grade science (44.44%) beat both district and state averages, and all-grade science (35.29%) also topped the district. Fifth-grade social studies improved sharply, from 23.08% in 2024–2025 to 44.68% in 2025–2026 — a gain of roughly 21.6 points and well above the district's 32.88%. With a 12:1 student-teacher ratio, $11,373 per-student spending, and 48.43% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, the school is relatively well-resourced for its size.
English Language Arts is the clear weakness. All-grade ELA was 23.39%, below the district's 27.87%, and every grade level trailed the state — most starkly fourth grade at 10% against the state's 42.2%. Science results are uneven: fourth grade was 25%, below both district and state. Most concerning, the school's overall rank slipped from 370 of 1011 (63rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024 to 593 of 1015 (42nd percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, matching declines in ELA, math, and science over the past year. Rosedale appears to be one of the stronger schools within its district, but it still sits below the state midpoint academically.
