Best Public Schools in Zip Code 46544

Summary:

The 46544 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, spread across two different school districts - the School City of Mishawaka and the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation. While the area has several standout schools, such as Virgil I Grissom Middle School, Fred J Hums Elementary School, and Twin Branch Elementary School, there are also significant disparities in academic performance and student outcomes across the different schools and districts.

The data reveals a wide gap in academic performance between the higher-performing elementary schools and the lower-performing ones, with schools like Mishawaka High School and Oaklawn Campus Program struggling with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and other concerning metrics. This suggests that while some schools in the 46544 zip code are excelling, others face significant challenges in providing quality education to their students.

The differences in performance between the School City of Mishawaka and the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation are also noteworthy, with the Penn-Harris-Madison schools consistently outperforming their counterparts in the School City of Mishawaka district. This highlights the importance of understanding the unique educational landscape within a given zip code and the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of each school and community.
