Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47338

Summary:

The 47338 zip code is home to a single standout school, Eaton Elementary School, which consistently outperforms the Delaware Community School Corp district and the state of Indiana in academic measures such as ILEARN test scores. With a predominantly white student population and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces both strengths and challenges in providing a quality education to its community.

Eaton Elementary School's academic excellence is evident in its ILEARN test scores, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 56.06% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to the district's 46.99% and the state's 38.6% for 3rd grade. Similarly, the school's 65.91% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/Math for all grades outpaced the district's 50.6%.

While the school's academic performance is impressive, its student demographics present both opportunities and areas for improvement. The school's predominantly white student population, with only a small percentage of minority racial/ethnic groups, suggests a need to explore ways to promote greater diversity and inclusion. Additionally, the high percentage of students (66.42%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates significant economic challenges faced by the school's community, which may require targeted support and resource allocation to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students.
