Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47959


Summary:

The 47959 zip code area is home to three public schools - North White Elementary School, North White High School, and North White Middle School - all of which are part of the North White School Corp district. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are struggling to provide a quality education, with consistently low academic performance, high poverty rates, and attendance issues across the board.

Academically, all three schools perform well below state and district averages, with proficiency rates on standardized tests ranging from just 7-28% across English Language Arts and Math. North White High School stands out with only 30% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better on the SAT. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, reaching as high as 30.5% at the high school level.

The schools in the 47959 zip code area serve a predominantly low-income student population, with 75-83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate, coupled with relatively low per-student spending, likely contributes to the academic struggles. Additionally, the diverse racial/ethnic makeup of the student bodies suggests the schools may need to better address the unique needs of their learners. Addressing these systemic challenges will be crucial to improving educational outcomes for students in this area.
