Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47918

The 47918 zip code in Indiana is home to two schools: Attica High School and Attica Elementary School, both part of the Attica Consolidated School Corp district. While the elementary school has a 3-star rating, the high school has a lower 2-star rating and has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years.

Attica High School has relatively low proficiency rates in ILEARN/English Language Arts (22.05%) and ILEARN/Math (19.35%) compared to state averages, as well as a slightly below-average graduation rate of 88.4% and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%. In contrast, Attica Elementary School has higher proficiency rates in ILEARN/Math (41.96%) than the high school and the state average, but also shares the high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%.

Both schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (over 50% at both schools). The difference in spending per student between the high school ($16,317) and the elementary school ($11,385) may indicate a need to re-evaluate resource allocation and ensure equitable funding across grade levels. Addressing the identified challenges, such as declining performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors, could help the schools better support student learning and achievement.
