Summary:

Greater Clark County Schools serves roughly 8,654 students across 12 schools — six elementary, three middle, and three high schools, including one combined middle/high — in southern Indiana near the Ohio River. The district ranks 201 of 374 Indiana districts in the source data, placing it in the 46th percentile with 2 stars. Enrollment varies widely, from 2,202 students at Jeffersonville High School to 296 at New Washington Elementary School.

Several schools stand out. Charlestown Middle School ranks in the 82nd percentile with 4 stars, with ELA proficiency of 55.24% and science of 53.37% — far above district rates of 37.53% and 34.36%. Utica Elementary School also earns 4 stars (77th percentile), posting the district's lowest chronic absenteeism (8.8%) and lowest free/reduced lunch rate (36.18%), plus elementary-leading math proficiency of 64.34%. Among high schools, Charlestown Senior High School ranks in the 63rd percentile with a 97.7% graduation rate, while New Washington Middle/High School graduates 100% of students and leads in SAT reading and writing at 58.33%. Northaven Elementary School is a bright spot too: despite a 71.51% free/reduced lunch rate, its math proficiency (49.63%) beats the district's 38.86% and its absenteeism (11.5%) is below the state's 16.7%.

The district's biggest challenge is attendance: chronic absenteeism is 27.3% versus the state's 16.7%, peaking at 50.1% at Jeffersonville High School, the district's largest school and highest student-teacher ratio (18.9). High school math is weak district-wide — every high school falls below the state's 25.6% SAT math proficiency. Parkwood Elementary School (19th percentile, 1 star) and Franklin Square Elementary School (13th percentile, 1 star) have the lowest proficiency and the highest poverty rates.
