Summary:
ZIP code 41139 has one elementary school, Russell-McDowell Intermediate School, serving grades 3–5 with 442 students. In 2025–2026, its ten reported grade-and-subject proficiency results averaged 48%, compared with 44% statewide. Reading averaged 55% across grades 3–5, about 5 percentage points above the state average; mathematics averaged 44%, 1 point above. The most important takeaway is that results were above the state on average, but performance varied sharply by grade and subject.
Because this is the only school in the ZIP-code list, there are no local schools to rank against one another. Within the school, grade 4 reading was the strongest comparison: 65% proficient, 15 points above the state’s 50%. Grade 5 Editing and Mechanics was also notably strong at 61%, versus 48% statewide, a 13-point advantage. At the other end, grade 3 mathematics was 39% versus 43% statewide, and grade 3 reading was 45% versus 49%—both 4 points below the state. The gap between the strongest and weakest state-relative results was 19 points, so a single overall average does not describe every grade equally well.
Results improved overall relative to the state across the two reported years, but gains and declines differed by subject. The school’s average across the same ten results rose from 44% in 2024–2025 to 48% in 2025–2026, while the state average stayed at about 44%. Grade 5 Editing and Mechanics rose 23 points, and grade 4 and grade 5 reading each rose 12 points; by contrast, grade 4 mathematics fell 9 points and grade 3 mathematics fell 6. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 338 of 685 schools (51st percentile) to 255 of 684 (63rd percentile), and it lists the school with 3 stars for 2025–2026. The student-teacher ratio was 16.7 in 2024–2025, and 52% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 15% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 21% and the state’s 24%. These figures describe one school and do not show that attendance or income context explains its test results.
