The 46259 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving a diverse student population. The schools in this area demonstrate a mix of high-performing and middle-performing academic outcomes, with some standout institutions like South Creek Elementary and Mary Adams Elementary consistently ranking among the top schools in Indiana.

The schools in the 46259 zip code serve a diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, Hispanic, and Asian students. While the schools generally perform well on state assessments, with many exceeding district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, there is some variation, with Acton Elementary and Franklin Central High School lagging behind the other schools in certain subject areas. Additionally, the schools face challenges with chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 14.9% at Lillie Idella Kitley Intermediate to 24.0% at Franklin Central High School.
Despite the economic challenges faced by the student population, as indicated by the high rates of free or reduced-price lunch eligibility (ranging from 45.69% at Acton Elementary to 50.79% at Franklin Central Junior High), the high-performing elementary schools in the 46259 zip code demonstrate that students can achieve strong academic outcomes. This suggests that the district has the potential to leverage the successes of these schools to drive improvement across all grade levels and address areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and the decline in Franklin Central High School's ranking.
