Best Public Schools in Zip Code 46072

Summary:

The 46072 zip code area is home to three schools - Tipton Elementary School, Tipton High School, and Tipton Middle School, all part of the Tipton Community School Corp district. While Tipton High School and Tipton Elementary School are performing well, with the high school ranking 85th out of 431 Indiana high schools and the elementary school excelling in ILEARN Math, Tipton Middle School is struggling, particularly in ILEARN Math proficiency.

Tipton High School stands out with a 95.8% four-year graduation rate and strong performance in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, while Tipton Elementary School impresses with its above-average ILEARN Math proficiency rates. However, the middle school lags behind, with only 32.89% of all grades proficient or better in ILEARN Math, well below the district and state averages. This disparity in academic performance suggests a need to investigate the factors contributing to the gap between the elementary/high school and the middle school.

Socioeconomic challenges may also be a factor, as the relatively high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Tipton Middle School and Tipton Elementary School indicate that these schools may face additional hurdles. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools are a concern and may require targeted interventions. The differences in per-student spending between the schools, with Tipton High School receiving the highest funding, could also be an area to explore as a potential contributor to the observed performance differences.
