ZIP code 47963 covers Morocco, Indiana, and is home to two public schools serving grades K–12 — Morocco Elementary School for grades K–6 and North Newton Junior-Senior High School for grades 7–12 — both part of the North Newton School Corp district. There is no separate middle school here; grades 7 and 8 are housed in the junior-senior high. Together the two schools enroll 602 students, with the high school accounting for about 80.7% of that total.

For parents comparing the two, the elementary school is currently the stronger performer in core subjects. In 2025–2026 its all-grade proficiency beat the district in ELA (40.63% vs 33.26%), Math (45.31% vs 30.98%), and Science (42.86% vs 41.54%), despite a higher free/reduced lunch rate (62.07% vs 48.15%). Its chronic absenteeism of 10.3% is far below the district's 18.5% and the state's 16.7%. The high school's clear strengths are graduation and reading: a 96.5% graduation rate against the state's 89.7%, and SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing above the state in both years (54.69% vs 51.9% in 2025–2026; 71.43% vs 54.5% in 2024–2025).

The main concern at the high school is math, which lags the district and state on nearly every measure — ILEARN Math all grades at 18.67% vs the district's 30.98%, and SAT Math at 20.31% vs the state's 25.6%. Chronic absenteeism there is 18.1%, above the state's 16.7%. At the elementary school, results vary sharply by grade: 3rd and 6th grades are strong, while 5th grade ELA (18.75%) and Social Studies (18.75% vs the state's 47.2%) are weak. Rank trends are mixed — the high school peaked at the 77th percentile with 4 stars in 2024–2025 before slipping to the 61st percentile with 3 stars, while the elementary school has climbed from the 34th to the 49th percentile but remains at 2 stars. Note that elementary and high school results cover different grades and exams and are not directly comparable, and spending figures come from 2023–2024.
