Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47834

Summary:

The 47834 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Clay Community Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 70 out of 381 in Indiana and has a 4-star rating, the schools within the district show a wide range of academic performance.

Staunton Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking 61 out of 1,010 elementary schools in the state with a 5-star rating. It boasts the highest test scores in the district, with 66.86% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 76% in Math. In contrast, Forest Park Elementary has the lowest test scores and the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 18.6%. The middle school, North Clay Middle School, stands out with consistently high test scores and a 4-star rating, while the district's only high school, Northview High School, maintains a respectable 85.2% four-year graduation rate.

The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the schools having the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as East Side Elementary and Forest Park Elementary, also having the lowest test scores. Additionally, the wide range in per-student spending, from $7,924 at Staunton Elementary to $11,519 at East Side Elementary, raises questions about resource allocation and equity within the district.
