Summary:
The 46816 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a diverse student population, they face significant challenges related to chronic absenteeism, economic disadvantage, and academic performance.
The standout school in the area is East Allen University, a high-performing high school that has consistently ranked among the top 100 high schools in Indiana. With a 100% four-year graduation rate and strong test scores, particularly in Evidence-based Reading and Writing on the SAT, East Allen University is the academic leader in the group. In contrast, the other schools in the area struggle with lower test scores and rankings compared to state and district averages.
The schools in this area also face high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 15.2% at East Allen University to 27.1% at Paul Harding Junior High School. Additionally, all the schools have a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. While the spending per student and student-teacher ratios are relatively consistent across the schools, the data suggests that additional resources or targeted strategies may be needed to address the specific challenges faced by these schools and improve student learning outcomes.
