Summary:
Eastern Hancock High School is the only high school serving the Eastern Hancock County Com School Corp area, enrolling 371 students in grades 9–12 at 10320 E 250 N, Charlottesville, IN 46117, so parents here have a single public high school option and should judge it over time and against state benchmarks rather than against other local high schools.
The school's strongest results are outside of test scores. Its graduation rate was 96.7% in 2024–2025, versus Indiana's 89.7%, and chronic absenteeism was 9.7%, well below the state's 16.7% and slightly better than the district's 10.3%. Academically, the picture swings sharply from year to year. In 2024–2025 the school ranked 101 of 429 high schools (76th percentile, 4 stars), with Biology ILEARN at 53.27% (state: 45.6%), SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing at 54.9% (state: 54.5%), and SAT Math at 27.45% (state: 25.4%). In 2025–2026, the rank fell to 231 of 415 (44th percentile, 2 stars) and both SAT subjects dropped below the state: 46.48% in Reading and Writing versus 51.9%, and 14.08% in Math versus 25.6%.
Year-over-year declines were broad: Biology fell 8.41 points to 44.86%, SAT Reading and Writing fell 8.42 points, and SAT Math fell 13.37 points — now roughly half the school's prior math rate. Context: 29.11% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch, the student–teacher ratio is 13.5, and per-student spending was $11,711 in 2023–2024. District and school figures match where reported, consistent with a one-high-school area.
