Summary:
Clark-Pleasant Community School Corp in Indiana contains just one high school: Whiteland Community High School, located at 300 Main St in Whiteland, serving grades 9–12 with 2,144 students. Because the district has only one high school, all district-level high school figures are effectively this campus's figures. The school reports a student-teacher ratio of 17.7 (roughly 121 teachers), per-student spending of $10,640, and a free/reduced-price lunch rate of 50.23%, making it a large, comprehensive, majority-low-income campus with broadly typical resources.
State ranking has been volatile. The school sat at the 49th percentile with 2 stars in 2023-24, rose to the 61st percentile with 3 stars in 2024-25, then fell back to the 47th percentile with 2 stars in 2025-26 — a 14-percentile-point drop. That slide lines up with a sharp reversal in SAT results: in 2024-25 the school beat the state in Evidence-based Reading & Writing (56.2 vs. 54.5) and Math (29.46 vs. 25.4), but in 2025-26 both fell below state (EBRW 48.1 vs. 51.9; Math 20.44 vs. 25.6). Biology moved the other way, rising from 25.38 to 34.16 proficiency, though it remains more than 10 points below the district figure of 44.41.
Graduation and proficiency tell different stories: 95.1% of students graduate, 5.4 points above the state's 89.7%, even as SAT proficiency trails state averages. Chronic absenteeism is the engagement red flag at 20.4% — above both the state (16.7%) and district (19.2%) — meaning roughly one in five students is chronically absent, a plausible contributor to the testing decline. Note also the wide gap between the district's standing (87th of 374, 77th percentile, 4 stars) and the high school's (47th percentile, 2 stars), suggesting the district's reputation is carried by other levels or measures.
