Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47660

Summary:

The 47660 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the East Gibson School Corporation district. While Waldo J Wood Memorial High School stands out as a relatively high-performing school, the elementary and middle schools in the area face challenges, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency.

The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance, with Waldo J Wood Memorial High School ranking 110 out of 431 Indiana high schools and maintaining a strong 89.8% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Wood Memorial Primary School and Wood Memorial Middle School struggle with ELA proficiency, with only 26.28% and 38.14% of students proficient or better, respectively, compared to the district average of 37.88%.

The schools in the 47660 zip code area also face demographic homogeneity, with a predominantly white student population ranging from 91.25% to 95.28% across the three schools. This lack of diversity may impact the educational experiences and perspectives of the students. Additionally, the variation in per-student spending, from $9,385 at Wood Memorial Primary School to $11,458 at Wood Memorial Middle School, suggests potential inequities in resource allocation within the district. Addressing these issues, along with the high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 14.4% to 26.2%, should be a priority for the East Gibson School Corporation to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the area.
