Summary:
The 47110 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Heth-Washington Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 150 students. While the school's student population is predominantly White (91.33%), a significant portion (75.33%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the area.
Academically, Heth-Washington Elementary School's performance is mixed, with some grade levels performing better than others. The school's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (32.43%) and Math (44.59%) are lower than the South Harrison Com Schools district (50.49% and 48.88%, respectively) and the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.4%, which may contribute to its declining performance, as evidenced by its drop in statewide ranking from 431 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 554 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024.
Despite the challenges faced by Heth-Washington Elementary School, the data suggests that the school's per-student spending of $13,422 for the 2021-2022 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 16.6 are in line with national averages. However, the school's below-average academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rate indicate that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and engagement in the 47110 zip code.
