Best Public Schools in Zip Code 46231


Summary:

The 46231 zip code in Indiana has only one public elementary school, Bridgeport Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 702 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it consistently ranks in the bottom half of Indiana elementary schools and struggles with below-average academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Bridgeport Elementary's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are well below the state and district (MSD Wayne Township) averages, with only 20.19% and 16.59% of students meeting or exceeding standards, respectively. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.1% is also higher than the state average, which may contribute to its academic challenges. Additionally, a majority (63.96%) of Bridgeport Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite Bridgeport Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1, which is better than the state average, the school has not been able to translate this into significantly better academic outcomes. This suggests that factors beyond just staffing levels, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or school climate, may be impacting the school's performance. Overall, the data paints a picture of a struggling school that is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.
