Summary:
There is one high school in the Argos Community Schools district in Indiana: Argos Community Junior-Senior High School, a combined junior-senior high serving grades 6–12 with 320 students at 500 Yearick Ave in Argos. Because it is the only school at this level, the school's results and the district's high-school story are essentially the same. The district as a whole ranks 235 of 374, in the 37th percentile with 2 stars, and the school's own 2025–2026 standing is 246 of 415, also the 41st percentile with 2 stars. Note that the figures below mix middle-grade and high-school results.
The strongest findings are attendance and completion. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 100.0%, matching the district and above the state's 89.7%, while chronic absenteeism was 10.2%, better than the district's 10.8% and well below the state's 16.7%. Science is a relative bright spot: all-grade ILEARN Science was 47.22% proficient in 2025–2026, above the district's 44.68%, and sixth-grade Science was 47.22% against the state's 41.2%. In 2024–2025, Biology End-of-Course proficiency was 61.11%, compared with the state's 45.6%. For context, the school reports 50.94% free/reduced lunch, $25,145 in per-student spending for 2023–2024, and a 12:1 student-teacher ratio.
The main concerns are academic results and a downward ranking trend. The school slipped from rank 144 of 432 (67th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024, to 198 of 429 (54th percentile) in 2024–2025, to 246 of 415 (41st percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. Math is the biggest weakness: all-grade ILEARN Math was 28.37% versus the district's 36.46%, and grades 6, 7, and 8 all fell below state levels. All-grade ELA dropped from 35.21% to 25.53%, with seventh grade at 18.87% against the state's 41.7%. SAT scores improved year over year but remain below state averages (EBRW 48 vs. 51.9; Math 20 vs. 25.6). Biology fell sharply from 61.11% to 21.43%, with no state comparison provided that year.
