Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47373

Summary:

The 47373 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Redkey Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 269 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (96.28%), with small percentages of other racial groups. However, Redkey Elementary has faced some significant challenges in recent years, including declining academic performance, decreasing school rankings and ratings, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Redkey Elementary School's proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math have fallen below the district and state averages for most grade levels, with a notable decline in the 2023-2024 school year. This trend has contributed to the school's statewide ranking dropping from 177th out of 1,020 Indiana elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 602nd out of 1,010 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars out of 5 in 2021-2022 to 2 stars out of 5 in 2023-2024.

The high percentage of students (56.13%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Redkey Elementary School suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic needs. This factor may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the school and should be considered when analyzing its performance. Without any other schools in the immediate geographic area to compare to, it is difficult to fully contextualize Redkey Elementary's performance, but the data indicates that the school is facing significant hurdles that warrant further investigation and potential intervention by the Jay School Corporation.
