Best Public Schools in Zip Code 46562

Summary:

The 46562 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Pierceton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 386 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces challenges with consistently low academic performance, high poverty levels, and potential staffing issues.

Pierceton Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, has been consistently below state and Whitko Community School Corp district averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. Only 19.05% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district average of 27.67% and the state average of 38.6% for 3rd grade. Additionally, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 13.7%, which may contribute to its academic challenges.

With nearly 60% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Pierceton Elementary School serves a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage. This factor may contribute to the school's academic struggles and could indicate a need for additional resources and support to address the unique needs of its student body. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1 may suggest staffing challenges or difficulties in attracting and retaining high-quality teachers, which could further impact the school's ability to deliver effective instruction.
