Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47224


Summary:

The data set provided information on a single elementary public charter school, Canaan Community Academy, serving grades K-8 in the 47224 zip code. The school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with low proficiency rates in core subjects, high chronic absenteeism, and a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

Canaan Community Academy's academic performance is well below state averages, with proficiency rates of just 19.23% in English Language Arts, 13.46% in Math, and 13.33% in 5th-grade Social Studies, compared to state averages around 40% in ELA and 30-50% in Math. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.4%, significantly higher than the state average. These academic and attendance struggles are likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students (96.72%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's academic and socioeconomic challenges, its per-student spending of $12,029 is slightly higher than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.6. This suggests that resources may not be effectively allocated to address the unique needs of the students. Additionally, the school's student population is overwhelmingly white (93.99%), with very low representation of minority groups, which may limit the diversity of educational experiences and perspectives available to the students.
