Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47246

The 47246 zip code is home to two schools: Hope Elementary School and Hauser Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Flat Rock-Hawcreek School Corp district. While Hope Elementary stands out with relatively high academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism, Hauser Junior-Senior High faces challenges in student achievement and attendance.

Hope Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 40% of Indiana elementary schools, with 52.54% of students proficient or better in ILEARN Math and 42.71% in ILEARN English Language Arts. In contrast, Hauser Junior-Senior High School lags behind the district and state averages in ILEARN and SAT proficiency, particularly in Math. However, the high school maintains an impressive 95.3% four-year graduation rate.

Attendance is a concern, with Hauser Junior-Senior High School having a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.9%, significantly higher than Hope Elementary's 12.3%. While Hauser Junior-Senior High spends more per student ($10,580) compared to Hope Elementary ($8,168), this higher funding does not seem to translate directly into better academic outcomes. Further investigation into resource allocation and the factors contributing to the performance gap between the two schools could help identify opportunities for improvement and ensure equitable educational experiences for all students in the 47246 zip code.
