Summary:

C A Beard Memorial School Corp in Indiana contains one high school: Knightstown High School, which serves grades 9–12 with 318 students. Because it is the only high school in the C A Beard Memorial School Corp, every comparison below is between this school and district or state averages.

Knightstown High School's clearest strengths are completion and class size. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 98.5% matches the district figure and sits 8.8 percentage points above Indiana's 89.7%. The student-teacher ratio is 12:1, which is generally considered favorable, and 33.96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — a moderate economically disadvantaged population, or roughly 108 students.
