Best Public Schools in Winchester, IN

Summary:

The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with Willard Elementary School standing out as the highest-performing school in the district, while the middle and high schools lag behind.

Willard Elementary had stronger proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages in the 2024-2025 school year. In contrast, Lee L Driver Middle School and Winchester Community High School performed below the district average in these subjects. The district as a whole faces challenges, with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% across all schools.
