Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47341

The 47341 zip code area is home to three schools - Northeastern Elementary School, Northeastern High School, and Northeastern Middle School - all part of the Northeastern Wayne Schools district. While the middle school stands out as the highest-performing, the high school faces academic challenges, and the district as a whole grapples with attendance and resource allocation issues.

Northeastern Middle School is the clear standout, ranking 153 out of 485 Indiana middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts strong academic performance, with 48.53% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 33.88% in Math across all grades. In contrast, Northeastern High School struggles, with only 42.31% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and just 13.46% in SAT Math.

The schools in the 47341 zip code area share a predominantly white student population, ranging from 91.36% to 92.55% white students. This lack of diversity could impact the educational experience and opportunities for students. Additionally, the district faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.8% at Northeastern Middle School to 16.8% at Northeastern High School, which are higher than the state average. The significant variation in per-student spending, from $7,754 at Northeastern Middle School to $11,362 at Northeastern High School, also raises questions about resource allocation and equity within the district.
