Summary

Taylor High School is a public high school located in Kokomo, Indiana, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 368 students. The school is part of the Taylor Community School Corporation, which is ranked 263 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Taylor High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and nearby schools on standardized tests. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 39.53% of students were proficient or better in ILEARN/Biology, compared to the state average of 29%. Similarly, only 20.55% of students were proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics, significantly lower than the state average of 31.14%. The school has also struggled with relatively low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 83.5% to 88.4% over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby Tipton High School (88.4%) and Western High School (88.4%). Additionally, Taylor High School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 34.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby high schools.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $11,803, which is higher than the nearby Tipton High School ($13,629) and Western High School ($9,932), Taylor High School's performance lags behind many of the nearby high schools, such as Tipton High School, Western High School, and Northwestern Senior High School. This suggests that Taylor High School may need to examine the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools to identify areas for improvement and better support its students.
