Summary:
The Edinburgh Community School Corp district in Indiana has only one high school, Edinburgh Community High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has faced academic challenges in recent years, with a declining statewide ranking and below-average performance on standardized tests.
Edinburgh Community High School has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and its statewide ranking has dropped from 262 out of 398 Indiana high schools in 2022-2023 to 231 out of 429 in 2024-2025. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.4% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is higher than the state average. Academically, the school has seen a decline in the percentage of students proficient or better in ILEARN/Biology, SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and SAT/Mathematics, all of which are below the state average.
The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 62.56% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,327 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.9, the academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. The school's challenges highlight the importance of identifying and addressing the underlying factors contributing to the decline in performance to ensure that all students have access to a quality education.
