Among the standout schools in the area is Forest Glen Elementary School, which ranks 155 out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools and has a 4-star rating. It boasts strong test scores, with over 57% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 60% in Math. In contrast, Winding Ridge Elementary School has a student population that is 78% African American and only 10% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts. The two charter schools in the area, Andrew J Brown Academy and Phalen at Francis Scott Key 103, have the lowest overall test scores and state rankings compared to the traditional public schools.
The data reveals significant disparities in student performance and school quality within the 46236 zip code. While some schools like Amy Beverland Elementary and Oaklandon Elementary School have above-average test scores, others struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates and low proficiency levels. The wide range of spending per student, from $9,124 at Fall Creek Valley Middle School to $15,585 at Andrew J Brown Academy, does not appear to directly correlate with academic outcomes.
