Summary:

The city of Sheridan, Indiana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Sheridan Elementary School, Sheridan High School, and Sheridan Middle School, all part of the Sheridan Community Schools district.

Sheridan High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 100 out of 431 Indiana high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a strong 88.4% 4-year graduation rate and impressive proficiency in ILEARN Biology End of Course exams at 62.96%. In contrast, Sheridan Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 139 out of 489 Indiana middle schools in 2022-2023 to 180 out of 485 in 2023-2024, with lower ILEARN proficiency rates than the district and state averages.

Sheridan Elementary School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the top 40% of Indiana elementary schools. The school's performance on ILEARN assessments is generally on par with or exceeding the Sheridan Community Schools district and the state of Indiana, particularly in 4th grade English Language Arts and 3rd-5th grade Math. However, all three Sheridan schools share a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is higher than the state average and an area that warrants further attention.
