Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47842

Summary:

The 47842 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the South Vermillion Com School Corp. While the elementary schools, Central Elementary School and Van Duyn Elementary School, stand out with strong academic performance, the middle and high school, South Vermillion Middle School and South Vermillion High School, face more significant challenges.

Van Duyn Elementary and Central Elementary are the top-performing schools in the area, with Van Duyn ranking 441 out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools and both schools outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. In contrast, the middle and high school struggle, with the high school having a graduation rate slightly below the state average and relatively low proficiency rates in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing and SAT/Mathematics.

The schools in the 47842 zip code area also face challenges related to racial homogeneity and socioeconomic factors. The student population is predominantly white, with minority students making up less than 8% of the total. Additionally, a significant percentage of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Addressing these issues could be crucial for improving the overall educational experience and outcomes for the students in this community.
