Summary:
The 46239 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 3 middle schools, spread across two school districts - Franklin Township Community School Corporation and MSD Warren Township. While the area boasts standout schools like Thompson Crossing Elementary School and Edgewood Intermediate School, there are also significant disparities in academic performance and student outcomes across the schools.
Thompson Crossing Elementary School stands out as a top-performing school in the area, consistently earning high ratings and boasting strong test scores, with 36% proficiency in ELA and 57.71% proficiency in Math. In contrast, schools like Creston Intermediate & Middle School and the schools in the MSD Warren Township district struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates, particularly in Math. These disparities highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the performance gaps.
The data also suggests a potential correlation between the socioeconomic status of the student population, as indicated by free and reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of students from low-income families, such as Lowell Elementary School and Grassy Creek Elementary School, tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, school climate and culture, as reflected in student-teacher ratios and chronic absenteeism rates, may play a significant role in student outcomes, with schools like Thompson Crossing Elementary School demonstrating a more supportive and engaging learning environment.
