Among the standout schools in the area, Southwood Junior-Senior High School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Indiana high schools, with a 4-star rating, high graduation rates, and relatively low chronic absenteeism. Southwood Elementary School and Sharp Creek Elementary School also perform well, ranking in the top 50% of Indiana elementary schools. In contrast, O.J.

The data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, both in terms of test scores and other metrics like graduation rates and chronic absenteeism. This suggests uneven educational opportunities and outcomes for students in the 46992 zip code area. The schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, a proxy for socioeconomic status, tend to have the lowest test scores and highest chronic absenteeism, pointing to the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to quality education will be crucial for the community.
