Summary:

There are two elementary schools serving zip code 47960, both part of the Twin Lakes School Corp. These schools serve students from kindergarten through fifth grade, and the area is characterized by a significant portion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at both institutions. A notable concern for both Meadowlawn Elementary School and Oaklawn Elementary School is the identical chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which can negatively impact academic progress. When comparing the two schools, Oaklawn Elementary School generally demonstrates stronger academic performance, particularly in Math and Science. For instance, Oaklawn students showed higher proficiency rates in Math across all grades in both 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, and also outperformed Meadowlawn in 4th-grade Science. This academic advantage may be linked to Oaklawn's more favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.3 compared to Meadowlawn's 17.6, and its higher spending per student of $12,029 versus Meadowlawn's $10,372. These factors suggest that Oaklawn may offer more individualized attention and better resources. However, there are instances where Meadowlawn Elementary School shows stronger results, such as in 3rd-grade English Language Arts for the 2024-2025 data. Conversely, Oaklawn leads in 4th-grade ELA. It's important to note that some test score data for Oaklawn is unavailable for 5th-grade subjects in the 2024-2025 academic year, limiting a complete comparison. Both schools are part of the Twin Lakes School Corp, which is ranked 236 out of 380 districts in Indiana and holds a 2-star rating, indicating that the performance of these elementary schools may reflect broader district trends.
