Summary:

The two schools located in the 47872 zip code area, Rockville Elementary School and Parke Heritage High School, serve students from the North Central Parke Community School Corp district. While both schools have a high percentage of white students, they are facing declining academic performance, resource allocation challenges, and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Rockville Elementary School has seen a drop in ILEARN assessment proficiency rates, from 39.33% in 2022-2023 to 31.01% in 2023-2024 for ELA, and from 45.33% to 34.39% for Math. The school also has a relatively low spending per student at $12,453 and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.1%.

The high school also has a low spending per student at $11,783 and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25.6%.

The racial homogeneity of these schools, with over 90% of students being white, is significantly higher than state averages. Additionally, the high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, 64.52% at Rockville Elementary School and 56.6% at Parke Heritage High School, suggest that these communities may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges. Addressing these issues, along with the declining academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, should be a priority for the North Central Parke Community School Corp to improve educational outcomes for students in the 47872 zip code area.
